Secure, confidential video therapy for California residents.
Picture
You've got a lot going on. 

You're a driven person who can handle a lot. But lately it's becoming too much; your anxiety is increasing, work stress is piling up, and national health crises are making you feel disconnected from people and things you love. Maybe you've experienced a loss or trauma and feel out of your element. Or maybe you feel unsatisfied with your life, like you can't ever catch up or achieve what you feel you should.

Whatever brings you to therapy, you can overcome, grow, change, ​understand, and thrive, and I want to help. 

Benefits of Online Therapy

  • Effectiveness: online therapy has been repeatedly proven in academic studies to be as effective as in-person therapy for most issues
  • Convenience: see your therapist without having to worry about travel, parking, and associated costs such as extending childcare or time away from work. You can see your therapist regardless of present location, illness, mobility, weather, or traffic
  • Access to a specialist: depending on where you are, there may not be a therapist near you who specializes in what you want to work on
  • Privacy: online therapy offers access to a licensed professional without having to go into a counseling center or medical office
  • Deeper work: some people feel safer expressing emotion or discussing difficult topics online than in person, allowing for more effective and beneficial therapy​

How Does Online Therapy Work?
I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform for all my video sessions. Prior to each session, you'll receive a unique link to join a video chat. You don't need to download any special software or programs; just click and make sure you have a private, quiet place to talk for 50 minutes with good internet connection. From there, we'll proceed just as we would in person. Newcomers welcome!
