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 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.
