Hello and thank you for reaching out! What I will bring to this venture is 30 plus years of experience, providing person-centered, strength based and trauma informed therapy to adults with a wide range of presenting concerns. I have a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and am a Licensed Therapist. Together we will lay the groundwork for connection and trust. I am dedicated to creating a safe environment, reflecting validation, acceptance and affirmation, as well as solid guidance. When pain, loss, fear, anger, and indecision are shared, these emotions become understood as part of a person's unique story. Whether you are struggling with life transitions, recognizing relationship or career patterns that seem self-defeating, or facing more intense and debilitating symptoms associated with panic/anxiety, depression, distorted thoughts, PTSD, substance use, or other self-defeating habits, I can provide a calm presence and the expertise to facilitate movement through the stuck places toward self-acceptance and actualization.

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.

Frances has been a great help during a horrible time
I've worked with Frances for a little less than a year and in that time I have grown so much. She has provided guidance with relationship problems, childhood experiences, depression, anxiety, co-dependency, inter-personal conflicts, and goal-setting for the future. She's an amazing listener and a wonderful friend who's given me space to talk about my life in a way that I've never experienced with any other therapist.
Frances is 100% in my corner.
Really feel like she understands.
Amazing therapist, helped me grow in so many ways and gave me tools to grow my self confidence and work through my anxieties! I definitely recommend Frances if you are looking for a therapist.
Having only had two session with Frances, I am confident I don’t need to shop around. She is attentive and truly wants to understand and help me. I feel like she listens just as much as contributes in breaking down what I am feeling to help me understand better what I need to heal.
Fran is great! She is thoughtful, respectful, and one of the best parts of my week is talking to Fran!
I haven't talked to more than one therapist to draw a comparison. But I can positively say that I wont be needing anyone else hereafter
Great therapist and very understanding. I loved her worksheets as well
Frances is just a lovely person, someone who I would love to have as a lifetime friend. I enjoy our sessions very much.
Frances is an amazing listener who comes to each session with a great calmness and insightful feedback. She is a very seasoned non-judgemental therapist with positive influence and broad look on issues. She is great at remembering details and keeps the conversation on track to accomplish the next steps in the counseling process . I can highly recommend Frances to anyone who has tried to get through issue on their own. Frances will set you in the right direction, your sessions / time and $ are well invested with Frances !
I always look forward to my sessions with Frances.
Frances is wise on multiple levels. She is very quick to understand and pick up on things. I always appreciate the different perspectives or frameworks she offers. And, she does challenge me. Even though I sometimes don’t take her up on it
Amazing therapist! She listens and supports you. And offers sincere advice and experience. I feel comfortable with sharing my feelings with her.
I've been working with Fran for a couple of sessions now, and she is so kind, attentive, understanding, and thoughtful in her reactions and responses. She provides helpful, actionable feedback to best prepare for future sessions. She listens without judgement and makes me feel comfortable sharing with her/
