Asian Therapists in Washington, DC
Hi, I’m Irrin! My practice is about helping people feel more connected to themselves. Life can get heavy; stress, the weight of past experiences, relationships, changes that throw us off track. Sometimes it’s hard to figure out the next step. I don’t focus on what’s “wrong.” I care about who you are today, what you’ve been through, and what’s possible moving forward.
Whether it's because you've gone through some really hard things or because daily life just feels harder to manage, our goal is to find purpose, solutions, and comfort.

I am trained to use CBT, ACT, DBT, solution focused, attachment, and strength based approaches to support black/African-American, Asian, Latinx and clients from other backgrounds who are living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, OCD tendencies, and more.
I work with individuals navigating chronic illness who may be struggling with grief, isolation, shame, loss of identity, changes in relationships, and the emotional impact of limitations that feel outside of their control. Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been managing a condition for many years, therapy can provide a space to process the challenges that come with adapting to ongoing changes and uncertainty. Together, we work toward building practical coping strategies, increasing emotional resilience, improving communication and boundaries, and creating a life that feels meaningful despite ongoing challenges.
