Therapists in Columbia, MD

My goal as a therapist is to help you reach a deeper understanding of your struggles and to help create awareness in your life. My belief is once these strengths are recognized and practiced, we can begin working towards our greater potential and begin the healing process or better management of our daily life. I believe people are resilient and have the capacity to heal, if we choose to. I teach practical skills and provide tools that you, you and your partner, child(ren), and family can use every day.

If you are suffering from burnout, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma or simply feeling overwhelmed or stuck, I can help you. I have devoted the last 6 years of my life to studying and practicing mental health and have an incredibly deep passion for it. In addition, I have an innate ability for empathizing and connecting with others and I promise you that I will make our therapy sessions a place where you feel safe and understood. Every person is unique and we will develop a specialized approach that works for you.

Hello, and thank you for considering me as your therapist. My areas of expertise include working with individuals of all ages struggling with behavioral and emotional issues, including anger management, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. Additionally, I have experience working with clients struggling with spiritual issues and those with family members with emotional struggles. I am also qualified to provide clinical supervision (VA & MD) to intern counselors, helping them develop their skills and knowledge to become effective therapists. I am also pleased to offer therapy sessions in Korean as well.

There is nothing like being listened to and understood on a deep level, with genuine interest, unconditional positive regard, congruence, empathy and acceptance. This is what I strive to offer in therapy, as we explore together your hopes and dreams, your losses and regrets, your longings and fears. Many people come to therapy to free themselves from self-defeating patterns, maladaptive behaviors and the legacy of past traumas, so they can be more truly themselves in relation to others and live with greater satisfaction and meaning.

There’s a certain pressure nowadays where it seems like we must have every aspect of our lives in order all the time. Often, it seems like we’re not allowed to slow down and pause to take a breath or look around. I would love to offer a space of rest and reflection that leads to inner healing and growth. I have an eclectic therapeutic approach which means I do not believe there is a “one size fits all” method. I like to take things at my clients’ pace and adjust my style accordingly. I am able to hold a safe space for people of all ages and demographics, where voices are heard, and an effort is made to lessen the burden they carry.
