FAQs

1. Do you offer online therapy in California?

Yes. I provide secure, HIPAA-compliant online therapy for adults located anywhere in California, including Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, the Bay Area (San Jose, Fremont, Oakland, Walnut Creek, Brentwood, etc), Sacramento, and surrounding regions. Online therapy is convenient, private, flexible, and clinically effective for anxiety, postpartum mental health, and cultural or family stress.

2. Who do you specialize in working with?

I primarily support:

  • Adults experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, stress, or burnout

  • Postpartum and new moms navigating emotional changes, anxiety, depression, identity shifts, or intrusive thoughts

  • AAPI individuals seeking culturally informed therapy for cultural pressure, generational trauma, and family expectations

  • Adults dealing with life transitions, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or emotional exhaustion

3. How long are therapy sessions?

Sessions are 50 minutes. Most clients begin with weekly sessions, and some shift to biweekly once they feel more grounded and supported.

4. How long will I be in therapy?

The length of therapy varies based on your goals. Some clients experience relief in a few months, while others continue longer-term to process deeper emotional patterns, postpartum transitions, generational stress, or chronic anxiety. We’ll collaborate on a pace that fits your needs.

5. Is online therapy effective for anxiety or postpartum mental health?

Yes. Research consistently shows that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for anxiety, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, trauma, and emotional support. Many clients prefer telehealth because it allows them to receive care from the comfort and privacy of their home.
