I have experience working in health care, hospice, schools, foster care and adoption, pregnancy services and, of course, grief issues. I engage my clients with Talk Therapy from a variety of different modalities as well as an EMDR derived brain re-calibration technique I've found success in called The Flash Technique.

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.
