The process of finding a therapist can be daunting, but I believe it is a sign of courage and strength to seek help for lasting personal growth and for stronger relationships. My overall perspective about therapy is to show acceptance, compassion and care to all clients; to build safe, warm, trustworthy, and collaborative therapeutic relationships; to apply evidence-based and culturally-competent therapeutic concepts and skills to address clients’ specific needs; and to build upon client’s strength for change. I can speak both English and Mandarin. I provide immigration psychological evaluations. I am licensed in Maryland and D.C.

You are someone that maybe confused as to what's next. You maybe burnt out and unsure how to find support and move forward in your life. Life may have you in a transition and adapting can be hard. I see clients that struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, spirituality, self-esteem, autism, and the latina first-gen experience. If you need someone to show up for you authentically open, honest, and steps to get you to where you want to go-that's what I offer.

Immediate virtual openings Tues/Wed daytime as of 4/22/24. Hi, I'm Katie! Do you struggle with high stress or feeling down, but not sure how to feel better? Does it ever feel like it's getting worse as time goes on, which then increases your sense of hopelessness? It may feel like a vicious cycle. I can help you figure out the triggers, set goals and maintain them. I use evidenced-based techniques known as "CBT," or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (using the way you think to improve mood or stress) and distress tolerance skills so that you build that resiliency muscle- just like an athletic trainer would in a gym.

There's a joke that goes like this: a client was 10 minutes late for a session. When she arrived, she profusely apologized for being late. Maintaining poise, the therapist responded, "No problem. You're only late for your first session." Oftentimes I see clients who probably should have come in 2 years earlier than they did. During that time, they slog it though days and nights where getting out of bed is an achievement. My view is if you're already in pain, it's time to cash it in and get something for it. I've been there myself and have benefitted from the techniques that you and I will do together.

Hello, thank you for reading my profile. Life is beautiful and we try to make the best of it, but due to stresses and unexpected factors it becomes difficult to maintain a balance between ourselves and the people surrounding us. I believe in a holistic approach to treat the human mind. I provide psychotherapy services for adolescents and adults to address depression, anxiety, addiction, self-esteem issues, concern in personal and work relationships. I have specialized training in traumatic events like sexual assault, grief and chronic illness as well as anger management, conflict resolution, life coaching and problem solving.

Overwhelmed by stress? Stress can be positive, motivating you to perform well. But chronic stress may cause irritability, difficulty concentrating, and fatigue. Having trouble getting along with others at work, school, or home? We will increase your resilience and improve your relationships. With skills and experience in trauma healing, I treat a variety of conditions, including depression and anxiety, as well as PTSD. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and offer Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), and mindfulness skills.

The mere thought of therapy can be daunting, while in actuality most of us ask for advice from those around us everyday. What makes therapy different from asking a coworker, friend or relative for their advice, is my approach to therapy. I believe therapy is allowing you the space to work out issues, the space to feel free and learn about yourself in new ways. Therapy is looking at your thoughts and behavioral patterns for maximum effectiveness to your desired goals. My approach is best summed up in a quote by Benjamin Franklin, “There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.”

My approach to counseling is to be fully present, attune, and resonate with my clients by co-regulating their nervous systems in a therapeutic setting. I am trained to identify and treat the root causes of emotional triggers and associated thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. I believe mental wellness is characterized by calmness, clarity, curiosity, creativity, confidence, courage, compassion, and connectedness.

Hey Wonder-Woman! It truly is a wonder how you wear so many hats, saving so many people, juggling so many tasks. Are you feeling worn down and burnt out? Are you struggling with friendships or having trouble connecting with your partner intimately? Feeling like your love-life is non-existent? Are you starting to feel stuck, empty, or unmotivated; maybe even anxious, plagued with worry, and overwhelmed? It can feel quite unbearable when all these emotions and racing thoughts are filling your daily life. You want to feel peace in your mind, heart, and relationships, but instead you feel turmoil; I understand.

I begin therapy by building a strong relationship with my clients. It is my goal that you feel safe and cared for when we are together, and I do my best to step into your experience with you and feel what you are feeling. Clients find me nurturing and have confidence that I am helping them reach their goals. I enjoy working with couples, children, and individuals. With couples, I help uncover destructive relationship patterns and establish new patterns that bring healing, and mutual satisfaction. With children, I provide play therapy and work as a team with their parents and caregivers to reach their goals.
