Frequently asked

I work with adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and mental health concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties, health-related stress, eating and weight concerns, and life transitions. With more than 14 years of experience, my goal is to help clients understand the root causes of their struggles while developing practical tools that support healing, resilience, and lasting well-being.
My approach is integrative, holistic, and personalized. I combine evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with complementary approaches, including Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT or tapping), nutrition-informed wellness strategies, and spirituality when it aligns with a client's beliefs and goals. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, recognizing that emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being are interconnected.
Yes, if it is meaningful to you. As both a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Spiritual Healer, I can integrate spirituality into the therapeutic process for clients who desire a faith-based or spiritually informed approach. My role is to respect your beliefs and support your personal values while using evidence-based psychological treatment to help you achieve your goals. Therapy is always centered on your comfort level and preferences.
Absolutely. Trauma and chronic anxiety can affect every area of life, including relationships, physical health, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can process difficult experiences, identify unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen healthy coping skills, and reconnect with your own capacity for healing. My goal is to empower you to move forward with greater confidence, balance, and emotional resilience.
Yes. I provide all therapy sessions through secure telehealth appointments. Virtual therapy allows you to receive professional psychological care from the comfort and privacy of your home while offering flexibility and convenience. Whether you're seeking support for trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or personal growth, telehealth provides an effective way to begin your healing journey in a supportive and compassionate environment.
