If you are feeling overwhelmed by a major life transition, struggling with patterns of co-dependency, or searching for a deeper sense of meaning, I am glad you are here. As a therapist partnering with adults and couples for over 30 years, I believe deeply that you are the expert on your own life and relationships. My role is not to judge, but to help you explore what truly aligns with your values and personal truths.
In our sessions, we will use practical tools like CBT to navigate your immediate, day-to-day challenges. However, the most transformative work happens in depth therapy. Together, we will look beneath the surface to address difficult questions, heal core wounds, and build a fulfilling life as you define it. When you are ready to take the next step, please reach out—I am gratefully here to support you on your journey.

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.
