Online therapy meets you where you areOnline therapy is my primary mode of conducting therapy for all clients, both new and existing. I began offering teletherapy as an option in 2014 to make my services and Complex Trauma specialty more accessible, and made the transition to full-time telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown in early 2020. I have advanced training in online therapy and certification in TeleMental Health and Digital Ethics from the Zur Institute.
Online therapy is available only to California residents. Online therapy may not be a good fit for people with psychiatric emergencies or crisis situations. |
You don’t have to travel far for professional help
One of the biggest benefits of teletherapy is how convenient it is for most people. You don’t have to worry about driving to therapy and finding parking, which in the Bay Area can be an hours-long commitment. This means lower stress levels and a smaller time commitment for you.
More reasons to try online therapy
- You have a busy schedule and limited time, but you're ready to invest in your personal growth
- You have young children at home and arranging for childcare is difficult, so it's much easier to put on their favorite video while you take some time for yourself
- You feel more comfortable in your own space, or you have limitations that make leaving your home challenging
- You live in another part of California, but you'd really like to work together
What you need for online therapy
- A private space where you can speak freely without concern about being overheard
- An internet connection that is fast enough to stream video
- A computer or device with a webcam
- Headphones are optional
- Tissues, a glass of water, and maybe a comfy blanket (all optional)
Real psychotherapy delivered in a modern way
Video-based synchronous online therapy is backed by research and closely mimics an in-office appointment, unlike text-based therapy services and apps.
