Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in District of Columbia

As an Asian, Christian mom of two from Northern VA, with experiences in both big cities and the suburbs, I’ve navigated the challenging expectations stemming from diverse cultural, generational, and societal influences. I’ve learned that being confined by limiting beliefs and labels can create a narrative that leads to distress and isolation. I believe that openness, discipline, and compassion within a safe space foster both acceptance and meaningful change.

Whether navigating stress, trauma, life transitions, or identity development, my goal is to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward the version of themselves they want to become.

As a proud Howard University graduate, my work is grounded in cultural humility, social justice, and a belief that mental health is inseparable from history, community, and lived experience.
