Anxiety, Depression, Abuse, PTSD, Assault, Trauma can often create a response similar to a pebble thrown into a still pond. The incident may seem small at first, but then ripples out and disrupts your sense of control, balance, self worth, and self confidence. These distressed feelings can amplify intrusive thoughts, or emotions of anger, pain, sadness, despair, guilt and more. Distressing and unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, and even physical ailments can interrupt your relationships, education, career, or finances. It is possible to manage chaos all around you and sustain the peace within.
I recognize it takes courage and wisdom to dive into the pond, find your pebble, and reclaim the parts of your life trauma has taken from you. You have all the resources of power and information you need to face life’s challenges and to make the best choices for yourself.
As a trauma therapist my job is to create a safe space, really taking the time to get to know you, so that I can help you to access your own strength, intuition, and to reconnect with your inner voice.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
