Thank You for Visiting Our Site
People come to counseling for many reasons. Whatever brings you here, I hope this site helps you understand the services I offer and how they might be of help to you.
My practice is entirely TeleHealth-based, with all sessions conducted virtually. This format suits many individuals and couples whose schedules or preferences make in-person sessions difficult or less desirable.
Some, however, find comfort in the traditional office setting. I’ve written an article explaining why I choose to focus on TeleHealth, which you’ll find linked at the bottom of this page.

My practice serves individuals ages 16 and older who experience mood or anxiety disorders, with particular attention to the lasting effects of attachment and other early-life trauma.
I also work closely with couples to deepen understanding, strengthen communication, and heal relational wounds rooted in trauma.
A fuller description of my approach to counseling and psychotherapy can be found in a separate article under Forms and Articles on this website.
I have been a licensed psychotherapist for more than 34 years, working both in direct service and as a supervisor for clinicians serving individuals with severe and persistent mental illness.
While this is no longer the primary focus of my practice, those years provided me with a deep understanding of how the mind works and how people can find their way through even the most complex struggles.
You can learn more about my background in the About Us section of this website. On the left-hand side of this page, you’ll also find a link to an article that outlines my approach to couples counseling and what to expect as we work together.
Thank you for visiting—I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Why do I solely use telehealth to provide counseling and psychotherapy?
Why I Choose TeleHealth
When I first began offering TeleHealth sessions during the early days of the pandemic, it felt like an experiment—for clients and for me. Years later, I’ve found it to be not just a necessary adaptation, but an enduringly effective and humane way to provide therapy.
The Practical Benefits
TeleHealth offers tremendous flexibility. Therapy can take place wherever you are—at home, at work, or even, as one client once did, from a quiet mountain rest stop between cities. This accessibility makes it easier to stay consistent, and consistency is one of the most important factors in achieving meaningful change.
For couples who live apart for stretches of time—whether due to military service, travel, or demanding schedules—TeleHealth provides a vital bridge. Meeting together, even from different locations, helps sustain connection and progress in the therapeutic process.
Convenience and Accessibility
For many, not needing to commute, find childcare, or take extra time off work can make therapy possible when it otherwise might not be. The ability to attend sessions in a familiar, private space also helps some clients feel more comfortable opening up and engaging deeply.
A Good Fit for Therapist and Client
TeleHealth suits my life and practice as well. It allows me to remain available to my clients even when traveling to visit family, and it gives me the flexibility to offer evening sessions or adjust my schedule as needed. That flexibility helps sustain the energy and presence good therapy requires.
Privacy and Effectiveness
Early concerns about TeleHealth—privacy, confidentiality, and effectiveness—have largely been resolved. The platform I use is fully encrypted and HIPAA-compliant, and research consistently shows that TeleHealth counseling is just as effective as traditional, in-person therapy.
When In-Person May Be Better
TeleHealth is not for everyone. Some clients prefer the traditional office setting or find it easier to connect face-to-face. If you are looking for an in-person therapist, PsychologyToday.com
is an excellent place to search for local providers.
Whether you and I work together or not, I wish you well on your path toward greater understanding and growth.
