Healthy Mind Therapy provides compassionate, evidence-based counseling and clinical hypnotherapy for individuals experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, chronic stress, health anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My goal is to help clients create lasting emotional wellness by addressing both conscious and subconscious patterns.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Clinical Hypnotist, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Intrigal Eye Movement Treatment (IEMT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), somatic interventions, and clinical hypnosis. Each treatment plan is personalized to meet the unique needs and goals of every client.
What distinguishes my practice is a holistic, client-centered approach that combines evidence-based psychotherapy with mind-body techniques to promote lasting change rather than temporary symptom relief. I empower clients with practical skills to build resilience, process trauma, increase self-confidence, and improve overall well-being.
My mission is to provide a supportive environment where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to overcome challenges, restore hope, and create meaningful, lasting transformation.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
