I’m so glad you’re here!

Coming to therapy is one of the best things you can do for yourself (and I’m not saying that just because I’m a counselor).

It’s a gift of time that is set aside just for you. It’s a place where you can just be yourself, and focus on what YOU want to focus on. It’s a chance for you to receive, instead of giving.

Even so, making the decision to “talk to someone” is kind of a big deal.

I get it.

That’s why I offer a free 15 minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit to work together.

Therapy for Codependence

Are you tired of always taking care of everybody but you?

You used to enjoy helping others, but somehow “helping” turned into doing it all. Even though you’re tired of doing more than your share, worrying about what other people will think keeps you feeling stuck.

Therapy can help you put down the burdens that were never yours to carry in the first place.

Online Therapy is Convenient

It’s one thing to set aside the time to spend an hour on yourself but when you have to also manage the ALL the logistics of getting there — Is there gas in the car? How’s the weather? What about construction/detours/traffic? etc., etc. — it can feel like going to therapy is adding yet another thing to an already too-long list of demands on your time and your energy.

Online therapy allows you to get the support you need from the comfort and safety of your own home.
