I enjoyed the sessions I had with Kyle. He's both present and compassionate. He was supportive in terms of where I am at the moment but also challenged some of the conclusions I had come to about myself in a constructive way that helped me reframe my perspective.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 12 years of professional work experience including helping clients with relationship issues & motivation, self esteem, and confidence.
My counseling style is pretty laid back and I find myself to have a pretty good sense of humor.
I enjoy helping individuals find their path to more happier and thriving times as well as couples rekindle their desire for each other and help remember why you saw in each at the beginning of the relationship. I also thrive with older teens with self-confidence, decision making and overall direction.
My therapy style is very client-centered as it is my job to help you find the answers rather than me telling you what I think you want to hear. Change is hard and I will work with you to go down that path together.
I commend you for recognizing that things need to change from where you are at currently and I look forward to being the one that helps you get there!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
