Hi! My name is Carl and I am a counselor who enjoys working with individuals of all ages and their families. I am trained in marriage and family therapy and have specialized training in Solution Focused Therapy and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I meet people where they are at in their lives and makes sure they feel accepted, understood, and heard. I work with people to process events in their lives including childhood trauma as well as current events, stressors, and relationships issues. I help people move past feeling overwhelmed with feelings of depression and anxiety and to realize choices they have in their lives so they can start a a new journey and enjoy their lives.

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.
