Welcome, I'm glad you're here.
If you've found yourself wondering why you feel the way you do, reacting in ways that don't fully make sense, or are searching for answers but still feel unsure, you're not alone. I work with adults and couples to help pinpoint what is happening and understand the "why" behind it.
Once we have an understanding, we create a clear, practical plan to help you move forward in a way that feels more grounded and manageable at a pace you are comfortable with. I offer a range of services depending on what you are looking for within your specific goals.
Diagnostic Sessions: Focused sessions to understand symptoms patterns, or potential diagnosis.
Individual & Couples Therapy: Goal oriented treatment, psychoeducation, and support.
Crisis Care: Short term support and safety planning following a recent crisis.
Psychological Autopsy: Comprehensive report for survivors after a death by suicide.
Starting can feel nerve-racking and is a big step. If you're not sure where to start we can figure that out together. If this sounds like what you're looking for, the next step is to schedule a consultation or reach out directly. I'd be happy to connect and see if we are a good fit.

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.
