I did not know what to do after a horrible accident changed my life forever. Randy has been helping and guiding me through this difficult time. It is not an easy thing but I feel extremely comfortable opening up to him about everything and just allowing myself to be honest to both him and myself.

I am a Marriage and Family therapist licensed in California. I’m from the Midwest and graduated from Indiana University.
I've had some wonderful experiences working with individuals, and I believe that everybody has the capacity and courage to change. I will do my best to help you find that courage, and to help you develop interpersonal skills by listening, challenging, and offering alternative ways of thinking and doing.
I believe that deep down, we all know what we want and need emotionally, and my work will focus on helping you understand your own unique life experience. I will meet you where you are and take this journey with you.
I know first hand that finding a therapist who you feel comfortable with and connected to is very important, so I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can talk openly. I am a good listener with a creative sense of humor. I am interactive in sessions offering a collaborative, compassionate, and emphatic approach to treatment. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and have a few inspirational moments. I really look forward to hearing from you.

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.
