I describe myself as… affirming, warm, empathic, and inquisitive.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: Most of my work as a psychologist has been spent in VA medical centers and clinics. This work has allowed me to witness the profound impact their work has on healthcare providers and underscored the importance of providing them with dedicated mental health support.

I’m passionate about… working with clients to address symptoms related to anxiety and trauma-related disorders; offering tools for managing stress; supporting clients in coping with grief and loss; and treating sleep concerns.

I also enjoy working with military Veterans, and I have years of experience working with Veterans.

You might like working with me if… you value a supportive and direct therapist. You can expect a safe and supportive environment where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I approach each interaction with curiosity and empathy. We will work to set realistic and achievable goals, and we will develop structured plans to achieve them. We will build on your strengths and address limiting beliefs, fostering an increase in self-confidence and self-efficacy.

My theoretical orientation is primarily cognitive behavioral. I help my clients to gain awareness of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We use that awareness to empower clients and help them bring about changes in how they feel. I incorporate mindfulness training in my work with clients. I also recognize that culture plays a significant role in how we relate to the world around us, how others relate to us, and how we experience symptoms.

As a psychologist, my goal is to give clients the tools to address any problems and concerns that are preventing them from being able to be present for the things that are most important to them.

When not working… I enjoy reading, trying new recipes, binge-watching my favorite series of the moment, and spending time with my husband and stepdaughter.

I describe myself as… cis-woman, artist, psychologist, athlete, Korean-American, child of immigrants, liberal, married, leader, teacher, tattoo canvas, and eternal student.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: Many of us share the same internal conflict of trying to be helpers at the same time as being human — this is a conflict that non-healthcare professionals do not really understand. The positive feedback loop fed by moral stress and compassion fatigue can sometimes seem impossible to escape. Therefore, the reason I work with healthcare professionals is because of 1) the clear need that exists, 2) the shared mission to serve, and 3) my unique ability to help because I am both a peer and a psychologist.

I'm passionate about… people of color and other marginalized populations and recognize the rise in mental health challenges within these communities in the last few years. I am also committed to people who suffer from gastrointestinal and autoimmune disorders.

You might like working with me if… you want to work with a provider who is active, authentic, and transparent, who expects the same in return from patients. You will not like working with me if you want to just vent or talk about day-to-day problems because my focus is on the bigger picture, patterns, and systemic issues that are contributing to your current challenges. My primary theoretical orientation is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

When not working… I am an artist and an athlete. You will find me creating multimedia pieces or out on running trails, swimming, biking, and doing hot yoga.

Dr. Dug offers individual and relationship psychotherapy.

With more than 20 years of clinical experience, I bring the combined perspective of a clinical and forensic psychologist as well as an executive and leadership coach. I specialize in supporting physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals working in high-pressure environments such as hospitals, emergency departments, and medical practices. Having provided consultation and care across hospital systems and clinical risk settings, I understand the unique challenges medical staff face, including burnout, compassion fatigue, and the emotional demands of critical decision-making. This experience allows me to deliver care that is both clinically rigorous and deeply attuned to the realities of practicing medicine.

My therapeutic approach is structured, collaborative, and outcomes-focused. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing, I help clients reframe unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen resilience, and align actions with their values. In addition, my background as an executive and leadership coach informs my ability to work with high-performing professionals who must balance personal wellbeing with demanding roles. I strive to create a supportive, pragmatic space where healthcare professionals can regain clarity, restore balance, and sustain both their wellbeing and their capacity to thrive in work and life.

I describe myself as… Curious, resilient and motivated by a desire to understand people within their own unique context.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: Working alongside physicians and healthcare teams taught me firsthand the challenges clinicians face — balancing patient care, systemic pressures, and personal well-being. Supporting healthcare professionals has become central to my mission, because their resilience directly impacts not only their lives, but the patients and communities they serve.

I’m passionate about… Helping people to build resilience and thrive within their own unique context. I specialize in working with healthcare professionals navigating burnout, self-doubt, and high stress as well as individuals managing chronic illness, parenting stress, and high-performance environments.

You might like working with me if… You’re looking for a collaborative, compassionate, and strengths-based approach. I integrate cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and resilience-building practices tailored to your unique context. I focus on helping clients to step back, regulate, and re-engage with clarity — fostering balance, flexibility, and long-term well-being.

When not working… I can be found spending time with my husband and twin boys, cheering them on at rowing events. I also love pickleball, cooking and travel.
