Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in District of Columbia

My goal is to create a warm and accepting space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. I believe that real growth happens when you feel safe to be open and honest about what’s going on in your life.

Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, this is a space to reflect, grow, and move toward greater balance and well-being.

I’m a Taiwanese American therapist who works with second-generation immigrants, people of color, women of color, and queer folks navigating the pain of disconnection—from self, from family, and from the world around them. Whether you're carrying intergenerational trauma, struggling with self-worth, or moving through the quiet grief of not having had space to simply be—you’re not alone.

Many of the people I work with are holding complex identities and untold stories: navigating cultural differences, the pressure to meet others’ expectations, or the silent weight of being “strong” for everyone else. You may find yourself questioning who you are, what you need, or how to trust your own voice.

As a daughter of immigrants, I understand how difficult it can be to navigate your sense of identity and self across differences in values systems and beliefs. My work is shaped by Buddhist values of compassion, loving-kindness and patience of the full human experience.
