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.

I implement a strengths-based perspective methodology. This means I take a holistic and individualistic approach by working through your personal history, environment, lifestyle, and spirituality. Your past is not indicative of your future. Everyone has a personal story that needs to be heard; therefore, I hope to build a partnership that's rooted in a judgment-free environment.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in District of Columbia

Finding the right therapist in Washington, D.C. starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or a life transition, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Common credentials to look for include LICSW, LPC, LMFT, and psychologist — and on Headway, you can read detailed provider bios to understand each therapist's approach before you book.

D.C. has a large concentration of mental health providers, which can make the search feel overwhelming. Narrowing your options by practical factors — like whether a provider offers virtual sessions, is located near your neighborhood, or has availability that fits your schedule — can help you build a shortlist faster. Many providers on Headway also offer a free phone consultation, so you can get a sense of fit before committing to a first session.

Therapy in Washington, D.C. can be expensive, with session rates often higher than the national average. Using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book — and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your needs and your budget.
