As a therapist, I am attentive to my clients' thoughts, emotions, and physical bodies, as I believe all are intricately connected and affect one another. I am also sensitive to and respect the action of unconscious processes within the self and in relationships. I specialize in working with adults, individually and in couples. My experience is with people from widely diverse backgrounds in community settings. My clients have included artists, addicts, first responders, and those who have suffered from trauma of all kinds. When we meet, I will welcome you with deep-hearted attentiveness. I will accept you as you are, and I will support you in your healing and growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
