My behavioral/mental health services fit within a holistic therapy model. The therapeutic approaches utilized are consistent with current standards of practice in the behavioral/mental health field and might include: Gestalt Therapy/Psychology, Choice Theory/Reality Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, Psychodynamic, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Informed Care, Person-Centered Therapy, as well as other techniques and approaches. Treatment may also include psycho-education, coaching/support, and the use of appropriate community resources. Following evaluation, I will recommend possible strategies to address your concern allowing you to make an informed decision about your short and long-term goals. Then we will work together to develop a treatment plan that will guide the work we do together. While I will work collaboratively with you to help you reach your goals, no guarantee of treatment outcomes can be made, and you may stop your treatment with me, at any time.

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.
