I have worked in the counseling, human services, compassion giving fields since the 1980's. It has been my privilege to work with many people, including, but not limited to: families, teens, persons with mental health disorders, addictions, anxiety, grief, trauma, and end of life care. I use a variety of tools and therapies: Acceptance and Commitment , Narrative ,, Cognitive-Behavioral , and Solution Focused Therapies. Everyone deserves compassion, concern, and a non-judging ear. I feel life is a journey and sometimes we need to have others walk with us to our destination.

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.
