Virtual Psychotherapy

“Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life.”  

Whether you're feeling inundated by challenging life experiences, navigating life transitions, or struggling with a relationship that's depleting your personal resources, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.  You don't have to figure this out on your own. The fundamental value of therapy is being able to speak with an empathic person about what is happening in your life.  It is an opportunity to be heard and recognized in the midst of whatever is occurring for you. 

My priority is to offer you a safe and nonjudgmental environment where together, we can work toward identifying and overcoming the stumbling blocks that are hindering your potential for healing and growth.  We will explore the interactions between your feelings (emotions), your thoughts (beliefs), and your actions (behaviors) to understand how they may be causing distress in your life. My goal is to help you find meaning and fulfillment, and to help you cultivate a level of resiliency that you can use to find your way through life's challenges.    

Choosing to seek help through psychotherapy is a sign of courage and resilience.

You can get started by contacting me below. In a brief phone conversation, I will gather some basic information and address any practical concerns or preferences you may have. We will then schedule an initial consultation to explore what you'd like to focus on and I can tell you a little bit about how I work. Psychotherapy or counseling can only be as effective as the strength of the relationship between you and your therapist.  The nature of the work we will do, requires a strong relationship that is genuine, based on trust, and one in which you are respected and valued as an individual.  Please take a moment to find out more about me, my take on therapy, and the services I offer.  I congratulate your courage to reach out for help and I look forward to accompanying you on this journey.
