In this AI age, you may be wondering what the benefit of working with a therapist is.
There is no better substitute for working in person or online with a person who you feel connected to. Sure, AI can give good advice, but life is complicated. Relationships are complex. Therapy is an invitation to connect with all parts of yourself. The things that make you, you. Therapy, in its best form is a place to explore, reality test, have real, honest communication, and heal through time-tested, evidence based interventions that address mental health issues like anxiety, including panic, OCD, depression, and past history of trauma.

Therapy should be a curated endeavor between you and your therapist
As a psychotherapist, Regina will humanely explore those parts of yourself that often go unexplored to help you develop insight into your issues.
My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and integrative. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or surface-level coping strategies—it is about understanding the deeper patterns shaping your emotional life and building sustainable change.
I draw from evidence-based and contemplative approaches, including:
Trauma-based bilateral skills
Mindfulness-based and somatic approaches: (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Polyvagal Theory Skills
Existential and meaning-centered therapy
Cognitive and relational frameworks: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Integrating Christian faith and spirituality, when desired
Culturally informed work a critical theory lens to examine power dynamics at work and/or home
Mindfulness in therapy invites all of you: mind, body, and spirit.
Used in therapy, mindfulness is therapeutic and healing because it is necessary in today’s often-mindless world. Mindfulness allows for healing from past hurt and traumas freeing you to live life in conscious awareness, and purposefully with resilience. Mindfulness-based therapy builds that resilience through skills and practices that you may experience as a release of tension in your body, and deep, full breaths. For your mind, it can feel like a brain bath and clarity and focus. For your soul, the truth of who you are is contained in the deep acceptance for the experience of who you are and who you are becoming. Mindfulness allows for healing from past hurt and traumas freeing you to live life in conscious awareness, and purposefully with resilience.
What is Existential therapy, and how does it help? Explore meaning in life, even meaning from suffering.
Therapy is most productive when your “now” makes sense in the context of the larger story of who you are, where you have been, what makes you unique, what you hold dear, such as your values, and your desires. Unlike a temporary therapeutic bandaid, we seek deeper, long-lasting healing when we can speak aloud your truth and compare it with the bigger Truths as we know them in faith and spiritual practices and experience. Sessions are the praxis of clinical awareness and application of the truths and values you hold dear. Existential therapy is about living fully into your authenticity, being generous with who you are, living in freedom because you understand the purpose and value of your life. Sessions are culturally-responsive, focused on identifying purpose, and tackling life’s anxieties.
