Hello, congratulations on taking an important first step towards a healthier you. I would love to help you with your next steps in that journey. Let's get to work on eliminating the thoughts that are holding you back. I have helped hundreds of people navigate through severe depression and crippling anxiety. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, but will tailor my approach to meet your needs. I use lots of strange analogies, but they seem to help trigger new insights for people and help them to change unhelpful perspectives that they may have been holding on to for years. You will be afforded empathy and respect while we do this work. Be prepared to be challenged, but with some laughs along the way too.

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.
