If you are struggling with past, present or future stress, I can help you find your balance. Together, we’ll explore your reasons for seeking therapy and create a plan that meets your needs. With your age and stage of life in mind, we’ll choose the most effective strategies for you. I offer a safe place to process trauma and grief. I offer you acceptance, skillful assistance, encouragement and compassion.
I've been pleased with how well teletherapy can work for people, and many actually prefer it. I offer secure video sessions on VSee Messenger, a HIPAA-approved platform, and can also meet with you on Facetime, Skype, (Google)Meet or other platforms. I welcome your questions and offer a free initial phone consultation.
