I offer Christian counseling in an inclusive, safe space through virtual appointments to suit your schedule.
Life can be tough and sometimes you find yourself overwhelmed facing challenging relationships, stressful changes, and painful past experiences. It can be difficult to know who to turn to for support and how to hold on to hope. Along the way, you can lose yourself and the ability to connect with those you love, often pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself. All of this can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe there is hope for you to take a step back from it all and learn to build a life you love living.

Within each human being is a Soul, a self-evident energetic force, the Gift of Life, with a natural propensity for flourishing and for suffering. Counseling is guidance through courageous and honest evaluation of life experiences. Life is hard, and determining which actions, habits, skills and strategies are effective in dealing with adversity is essential for developing mental fitness and establishing contentment. Integrating suffering into overall thriving, not merely coping, means ongoing adjustment to life's challenges as in divorce, loss of loved ones, financial hardship, unemployment, and returning from military deployment.

If you want to understand your situation, thoughts, and feelings, I can help. Most people do not know or understand why they feel like they do or how they got into the place they’re in. Instead, they find dysfunctional ways to distract themselves so they don’t have to feel their pain. They never uncover the root of their problems, find healing, or gain victory over their lives. If you’re having marital/relationship problems, dating disasters, panic attacks, depression, your children are out of control, or you’re frustrated, angry, sad, confused, and lonely— counseling can help you find deep new insights and strategies to change.

Sometimes you can sail through your life issues just fine without any professional therapy help. Other times, therapy can help you navigate difficult times, which are inevitable given that life is sometimes unpredictable, odd, and even painful. Therapy can help smooth the bumps in the relationships that you have: both within your own self and with others.

Do you feel like you're never good enough? Or maybe you're too much? Does it ever feel like no one gets you? I'm willing to bet that you often experience shame, are hard on yourself, and are anxious about how others think of you. Shame makes us believe something is wrong with us. We try to cover up and hide even though we desperately long to be seen, known, and loved. Shame thrives on secrecy. There is a risk that if we open ourselves up to others then we'll be judged and criticized, which can lead to more shame. Shame is universal and can amplify the pain we already feel.

Hi there, I'm Phuong Nguyen. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). As a therapist, I am passionate about cultivating a safe space for you to examine the challenges and barriers that prevent you from living a joyful life. I hope to use therapy as a tool to help you find healing and growth in your own journey. During my clinical practices, I come to recognize that I work well with a wide age range (children to adults) but I do work best with teenagers to young adults who might be dealing with transitions, figuring out their values/identities, relationship issues, and social pressures.
