I enjoy helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, coping with life changes and so much more. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I am here to journey with you. My heartfelt desire is for people to know the truth of their stories, feel heard, known and learn how to live in the tension of the goodness and tragedy of the world.

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.

I’ve been with Ron for the last 5-6 months and couldn’t be happier. He understands my needs, gives me his undivided attention, and is extremely professional. I am excited to speak with him each week. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
My therapist was awesome
Doctor Ron is amazing! My very first session is such a success. I feel like much more of a lively person. He’s focused on my progression, my self help and health, especially my journey towards healing. Ten stars from me!
