These days, the terms counseling and therapy are often used interchangeably—they both refer to working with a mental health professional, typically through talk-based sessions.

That said, some people see a subtle difference: counseling can sometimes suggest a more present-focused, solution-oriented approach, while therapy might lean more into exploring deeper or past issues.

Both help you grow—just in different ways.

At this time, most of my scheduled 1 hour sessions are online through a secure video platform (Zoom, with our cameras on). Virtual sessions and voice messaging minutes provide flexibility and accessibility, and most of my clients find them to be just as effective and personal as in-person sessions.

I currently live between Hong Kong and Chiang Mai, Thailand. While my main focus is virtual therapy, I understand that there are times when in-person support can be especially helpful. In unique cases— for example, clients who are hospitalized or medical parents spending long hours in the hospital—I’m open to arranging in-person sessions at the hospital when it’s truly beneficial and feasible.

I am open to different situations, as every client's situation is different. Always feel free to talk to me  about what feels right and works best for you.

I do my best to accommodate individual needs. If you're unsure whether virtual therapy is right for you, I encourage you to schedule a consultation for us to chat. Sometimes you don’t know what works until you experience it—and I want you to feel comfortable, supported, and confident in the care you receive.

As an expatriate family with frequent relocations, I’ve found that offering online sessions allows me to maintain consistency and reliability in my availability and support for clients.

I am currently working in all Asian country time zones, but for some months of the year depending on my family schedules and needs I work in GMT.

After careful thought, I’ve chosen not to work directly with insurance companies. This allows me to offer care based on your needs—not limited by session caps, treatment restrictions, or confidentiality concerns insurers can impose. Insurance can also unexpectedly deny claims, leaving clients responsible for the full cost.

By staying out-of-network, I can focus fully on providing high-quality, personalized care—without the distractions of insurance paperwork, delayed payments, or undervaluing of professional expertise. Just as I encourage clients to set healthy boundaries and advocate for themselves, this is one way I do the same—so I can show up fully for you.

Therapy is an investment in a better tomorrow—and while it might feel unfamiliar at first, it can lead to meaningful, lasting change. When you choose to work with me, I’m fully committed to supporting your growth and healing. My fees and policies are thoughtfully designed to create a space where I can bring my full focus, care, and expertise to each session, helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.

 The length of therapy really depends on your goals and what you're working through. Some people find relief within a few months, while deeper, long-standing patterns may take longer to explore and shift. That said, I’m always paying close attention to your progress. When I notice meaningful change, I’ll be honest with you about where you’re at and whether ongoing therapy continues to be the best use of your time and resources. I approach this with care, integrity, and open communication—always keeping your well-being at the heart of our work. 

Yes, everything we talk about in therapy is confidential. I’m legally and ethically required to keep your information private, and I won’t share anything without your written permission—unless one of the following exceptions applies:

1. If there’s an immediate risk of harm to yourself or someone else.

2. If I learn that a child or vulnerable adult is being harmed or at risk—I’m required by law to report this to the appropriate authorities.

3. If I receive a court order or subpoena, I may be legally required to respond, but I’ll always do my best to let you know first.

Your privacy is deeply respected, and I’m always happy to talk through any questions you have about this.
