- LMHC, LCPC
I’ve always been fascinated by people’s stories. Mine has been marked by adventures, deep joys, significant losses, and many dark nights of the soul. In all of it, I’m amazed at how the human spirit and the human body can recover time and time again; we are designed to recover. As a counselor for 23 years, I’ve provided support and direction to help facilitate the transformation possible within some of the most difficult situations of life. My counseling style is to be compassionate and nurturing, while also providing honest, straightforward feedback. I’ll approach your concerns with an interest in how, when, and why they have surfaced now. Your life is speaking to you, and I’ll help you pay attention. We’ll determine together how to move forward.

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.
