Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between counseling and consulting?
Counseling is a structured therapeutic process, guided by clinical ethics, reflection, and psychological depth. It’s paced and intentional, focused on developing self-awareness, emotional insight, and lasting internal change. If you’re seeking support and a space to make meaningful personal insights, this is the route.
Consulting isn’t therapy, it’s realignment. There’s no diagnosis, no therapy contract, no hand-holding. You bring the problem, and we dismantle it together. Whether it’s interpersonal conflict, emotional volatility, performance breakdown, or loss of direction. The conversation is very direct, and built to create movement.
What kind of psychologist are you?
I'm an insight-based psychologist. I don’t believe in handing out advice or quick-fix strategies. I believe through focused dialogue and the right kind of challenge, most people already hold the answers they’re searching for, they just need the space and environment to access them.
My approach is rooted in Western psychological principles, but heavily influenced by Eastern perspectives on balance, harmony, and self-observation. I help clients shift out of guilt, shame, and internal distortion, not by minimizing what’s happening, but by learning to see it from a more stable and truthful place.
Therapy with me is about clarity and alignment over comfort. I value directness, awareness and depth, but also know when to disrupt what no longer serves.
Note: I’m a telehealth only psychologist, meaning I only see clients online.
What can I expect in a session with you?
Expect a conversation between equals.
I’m not above you, and I’m not here to fix you. I ask real questions, sometimes hard ones, but never from judgment.
With time, I want you to see me as a clear, steady presence. Someone you can speak freely with, without editing.
If we’re doing it right, we’ll probably end up laughing. Not because things aren’t serious but because humor cuts through heaviness and breaks tension. Laughter isn’t the goal, but it’s a sign we’ve built something authentic.
I aim to become a kind of tool; a stable point you can reflect off of. A space where you can say the things you usually filter out.
What types of clients do you work with?
I work with individuals who are navigating internal tension while keeping up external performance. My clients often include:

Creators and Influencers balancing self-esteem with authenticity.
Expats & globally mobile professionals navigating finding their identity amid emotional drift.
Driven individuals working through stress, low mood or internal conflict, even when things look “fine” on the outside.
Parapsychology is for individuals seeking to make sense of experiences that blur the line between mind and the unexplained.
