Telehealth Services
Based in beautiful San Diego, my psychology practice provides professional telehealth therapy services to adults throughout California, Hawaii, Florida, Virginia, and Washington, DC. Since March 2020, I have exclusively offered online therapy through secure videoconferencing and phone sessions, allowing clients to access high-quality psychological care from the comfort and privacy of their own homes.
My virtual psychology practice is designed to provide accessible, compassionate, and evidence-based therapy for individuals seeking support with trauma, anxiety, PTSD, stress, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Telehealth therapy allows clients to receive specialized care without the challenges of commuting, traffic, or geographic limitations.

BENEFITS OF TELEMENTAL HEALTH
Teletherapy offers a flexible and accessible way to engage in psychological services without the need to travel. Some of the key benefits include:
- Greater geographical flexibility – Access care from anywhere within the states where I’m licensed.
- Reduced commute time – No travel required, saving time and energy.
- Comfort and convenience – Participate in therapy from the privacy and familiarity of your own space.
- Continuity of care – Stay connected during travel, life transitions, or relocation.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR TELEPSYCHOLOGY
While teletherapy can be an excellent option for many individuals, it may not be the right fit for every clinical situation. Some things to consider:
- Technology readiness – Comfort with using video platforms and troubleshooting minor tech issues.
- Privacy needs – Ensuring you have access to a private, quiet environment during sessions.
- Crisis support – Teletherapy may not be suitable for clients needing intensive, in-person crisis intervention or emergency services.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ONLINE THERAPY
To participate in teletherapy, you will need the following:
- A smartphone, tablet, or computer with a webcam and microphone.
- A quiet, confidential space free from interruptions or distractions.
- A secure and stable internet connection (avoid using public Wi-Fi whenever possible).
- A willingness to engage in the therapeutic process through a HIPAA-compliant video platform.
In 2022, I earned the Telepsychology Competencies Credential (TCC), a testament to my proficiency in adapting traditional psychological practices to the digital realm. This credential reflects my commitment to providing ethical and effective telepsychology services, ensuring I stay current and competent in meeting the evolving mental health needs of individuals in today's dynamic landscape.
