You will be treated with respect, genuineness, warmth, and compassion in a safe and supportive environment. Therapies and techniques used are based on your individual circumstances and personality. I use theory and techniques from Client-Centered, Behavioral, Cognitive-Behavioral, Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Psycho-education, and Brief Solution-Focused therapies.

My primary focus is to assist you in gaining self-awareness and identifying new sources of hope & strength, which are crucial parts of your journey and the foundation for a new beginning.

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.
