Congrats on choosing psychotherapy! I am an experienced and compassionate psychologist. I treat mood disorders, trauma and grief survivors, anxiety/depression issues, as well as eating disorders. I also enjoy working with couples and families. The work we will do together includes cognitive-behavioral treatment and person centered therapy. I bring empathy, acceptance and compassion. Oh yeah, some humor too. I truly enjoy people and I love helping them navigate their worlds. I welcome teens, adults, seniors, couples and families.
Just schedule a session to see if i am the right therapist for you.

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.
