About Us

Where It Started

The decision to start a virtual mental health private practice is rooted in my professional experience and a deep understanding of the growing need for accessible mental health services. After 20 years in the people-helping profession, I noticed an increasing demand for flexible options, particularly highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which pushed many individuals to seek support while facing limitations on in-person visits.

This experience motivated me to create a practice that could reach consumers struggling to access traditional therapy due to geographic, mobility, or scheduling constraints. By establishing a virtual practice, I aim to provide high-quality, personalized mental health care that aligns with my values and therapeutic approach. By starting a virtual practice, I can tailor services to meet the needs of my ideal consumers best and focus on areas where I feel I can make the most impact.

What you can expect from therapy with me and my therapeutic approach:

I offer a holistic and person-centered approach to treatment, recognizing the intricate connection between mind, body, and spirit. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Mind-Body-Spirit Connection: I understand that mental health issues can manifest physically and vice versa, and I address these interconnected aspects.
  • Individualized Care: Each treatment plan is tailored to meet your unique needs and circumstances.
  • Empowerment and Self-Awareness: My goal is to educate, empower, and equip you with the tools to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and take an active role in your healing process.
  • Comprehensive Care: We will explore multiple facets of your well-being, including nutrition, exercise, and relaxation techniques.

My approach is built on several core principles:

  • Respect for the Whole Person: I treat you as an individual, considering your unique experiences, goals, and values.
  • Client-Centered: The therapeutic process is designed around your needs and preferences.
  • Empathic and Non-Judgmental: I provide a supportive and empathetic environment where you feel heard and understood.
  • Focus on Self-Exploration: We will deeply self-reflect and discover to foster personal growth and well-being.

Together, we will work to create a therapeutic relationship based on mutual respect, empathy, and genuineness. Let’s embark on this journey of healing and self-discovery.
