If you are struggling with depression, anxiety or other issue, online counseling offers you the easiest way to get help and support. If finding the right care, the right professional, at the right time, has been a barrier to getting the services you need, online therapy can provide you a personal, confidential session right away.
Online counseling has now become mainstream through one-to-one video communication. You can easily receive the best therapy for you in the comfort of your own home or office. Schedule your secure session at a time that is most convenient for you, allowing you to access care from anywhere.

To engage in a live video session over the Internet, all you need is a device (computer, tablet, or smartphone), a webcam, and a reliable internet connection. I use a HIPPA compliant Videoconferencing software platform, that guarantees that your session is always secure, private and confidential.

In determining the appropriateness for online counseling for you, I will rely on my professional assessment of your ability to benefit.
Free Online Consultation
I offer a complementary online consultation to allow you to see if this medium will work for you. The purpose of the consultation is so we can discuss your desired goals, and to make sure I can help you. You can learn a bit about me, my services, qualifications, training and fees.
Once you are ready to schedule an actual counseling session I will send you an Intake Packet to read and fill out prior to our online appointment. This packet contains relevant information about confidentiality, HIPAA, online services and office policies.
