Is the hurt of a traumatic past still weighing on you? Or maybe you’re struggling with a toxic relationship or can’t find the confidence to stand up for yourself. I can help you learn to let go of the past. Even if it’s been months, years or even decades, there is hope. The idea of rebuilding our life is daunting, but not impossible. Above all, I help people cope with anxiety, depression and substance abuse to get back to living life to the fullest and being the best version of themselves.
I believe in being transparent and honest with my clients. Sometimes the message that we need to hear isn’t easy to hear. However, through honesty, I foster an environment of focused growth and progress. Therapy is a way to understand the challenges you face and develop ways to overcome them with the support of someone in your corner.
Life can be full of ups and downs that often come without a warning. While it’s natural to attempt to attempt to overcome these challenges on our own, this can often lead to additional stress, isolation and anxiety. Change doesn’t occur overnight, but through therapy, I can support you to in your journey towards a different future.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Geoffrey helps me track my progress week to week while reminding me of my goals and areas for improvement. No shaming, no blaming, just ideas to consider and try out.
Geoff has been amazing. While talking out my concerns with my marriage he has helped me so much by listening and and I realized my marriage is worth saving!! He is so easy to talk too.
Geoff has restored my confidence in a short amount of time. He offered support and guidance to get me feeling a little bit more like ME. He listens and offers suggestions, and has been a great support if I wavered in any decision. His suggestions are thoughtful, and they maintain fortitude whether it's a work issue or personal. He is awesome. Everyone should have a Geoff!
Geoff always meets me where I’m at, mentally and emotionally. Each session picks up where the last one left off, so it feels like it’s building vs. starting over each week.
Geoffrey challenges me in a way that I can better reflect on myself to be the bigger person and have a positive outlook. He is respectful and understanding when my faults get the best of me. Our sessions always end positively with motivation for the week. I’d recommend him & Better Help to anyone; especially those thinking they are lost and helpless. You’re not! You’ve just got to take action, “take chances, make mistakes, [and] get messy!” (Quoted from Miss Frizzle of Magic School Bus).
Geoffrey has been so available. You can tell he really cares about the things you tell him and he genuinely wants to help you work through everything you are going through. Every piece of advice, worksheet, or task he has challenged me with has worked wonders for me so far. I am excited to Continue my journey with him. He has truly been great!
Geoff is approachable and easy going. He's a good listener and had helpful insights about how to work through problems. He also does a good job not making the session about him or sharing too many personal opinions, which might making sharing things with him more challenging.
Mr. Birch is very knowledgeable and professional. I am very pleased that I transfered to him because he provides excellent advice and is really understanding. I highly recommend Geoffrey!
I’ve been working with Geoff for a short time. He is a great counselor. He listens and he is empathetic. I appreciate his ability to focus on my thoughts.
