Therapists in Fairfax, VA

Hello! I work with adults, including older adults and their families, challenged by life's interruptions and stress--how can you cope? Yes, you can endure. I offer experience with aging, caregiving, life transitions, depression/anxiety, pandemic related stress, illness and disability, cognitive/neuro impairment, death and dying, care/resource planning, loss and grief, trauma and relationship/conflict resolution. I use interventions (CBT, solution focused, relational, etc...) tailored to best meet your needs. I use a person centered and strengths based approach to offer hope in your efforts to thrive.

“Should you shield the valleys from the windstorms, you would never see the beauty of their canyons.” - Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. It takes courage to embrace the healing process, so I would like to say thank you for taking this first step in finding support. It is my honor to help my clients process life transitions including major changes and loss. As a certified Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) provider, I have walked alongside trauma survivors who have experienced abandonment, abuse, neglect, grief, and domestic violence.

I specialize in providing counseling for racial identity and cultural issues (specifically in first and second Asian Americans/immigrants), navigating significant life transitions, and grief from a cultural perspective. My goal is to help you live a life that aligns with your values and move from a space of surviving to thriving. At the core of my approach is the belief that the therapeutic relationship is the strongest force in inciting growth. A sense of authentic trust and comfort is instrumental to begin doing "the work" and creating lasting change.

Are you ready to change your life? As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have worked with individual, couples and families for over twenty years. My goal is to help you enhance your life, improve your overall functioning and have a better understanding on how to care for yourself. My approach is gentle but direct and strength based.

Our mind supports us in so many ways. But from time to time our mind needs support just like the rest of our body. Events in our life may impact our mind. You might have just gotten some challenging health news, recently lost a loved one, or sometimes it’s something from your past that keeps popping up. Or it could be the day to day of witnessing sadness in the news. Regardless of the reason, your mind deserves the same care as the rest of your body. My specialties include trauma, grief, anxiety, and health conditions (including fertility journeys and perinatal care).

Losing a loved one can be the most difficult time in your life. Emotions are often surprising in their strength or mildness. Grief often breaks a person completely from the inside out. Grieving is hard work, you can get worn out, and feel battered. It can take a lot longer to work through grief than most people realize. People around you may think it’s helpful for you to not talk or cry or focus on your loss but actually, this is just what people need to do. The goal is to not stay stuck, to move through it—and this is part of the process. Grief doesn’t get better by ignoring it and trying to ‘get over it.’

All evolving individuals are faced with real-life challenges and tragedies that, at times, upend their sense of well-being, leave them in a position of loss and confusion, lacking hope for the future. Life is more than a set of goals, it is also a path of twists and turns that require you to manuver though obstacles in order to find your authentic self. Allow therapy to be the vessel you travel upon on your way to discovering what matters the most and how you can achieve your highest goals.

Are you feeling confused and isolated due to a loss? It is hard to come to terms with the idea we are grieving. While many people can easily relate grief to the death of a person or pet, suffering, in reality, expands across so many areas that we encounter on a day-to-day basis. Maybe you are going through a breakup or struggling with fertility, or you just found out your favorite coworker is moving to a new company. Perhaps you finished that last sip of wine that you brought back from the trip of a lifetime. There are many reasons to grieve, and unfortunately, when we don't know how to process grief, it can make us feel trapped.
