CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Life can be incredibly overwhelming at times and there are moments when we can all feel alone, directionless or hopeless. We can go thru experiences that are incomprehensible and devastating, while at other times we may feel stuck and stagnant, bogged down by some unknown force, just simply not knowing what to do. Whether you are new to therapy or returning due to life's ever-changing circumstances, you do not need to go thru your experience alone.
I have a great deal of experience and skill holding space for others who are struggling to find their flow in life. Clients describe me as genuine, sincere, compassionate, patient, honest, straight-forward and humorous. I am very present and do not withhold. I offer my own opinions, thoughts and perspectives while trusting and respecting your own.
They say it takes only twenty seconds of courage, so pick up the phone, write an email. Life could change this very moment. I look forward to hearing from you and believe that there is already more changing and growing within you than you know.

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.
