Online Therapy
In today’s busy world, finding time for self-care can be challenging.
That’s where online therapy comes in—a flexible, convenient way to get the support you need without leaving your home. Whether you’re managing anxiety, working through past trauma, or simply looking for a compassionate ear, online services make it easier to prioritize your mental health. With the ease of virtual sessions, we can take time to address the areas that you want to create change, all while staying in a space that feels safe and comfortable for you.
Creating the Change You’re Looking For.
Online isn’t just a convenient option—it’s an effective way to create meaningful change in your life. The American Psychological Association, The Journal of Psychiatric Research, and others have shown that teletherapy is as effective as in-person therapy sessions for treating a range of mental health conditions. Whether you’re struggling with stress, feeling overwhelmed by past experiences, or seeking to improve your relationships, I’m here to support you every step of the way. My approach is tailored to your specific goals, helping you navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.
If you’re in the Tempe area, or anywhere in Arizona, and looking for a convenient option that fits into your busy life, online counseling might be the perfect solution. Let’s work together to create the change you’re looking for—one virtual session at a time.

*Please note that not every situation is appropriate for online counseling. Therefore, I will assess your fit for online therapy services during your initial appointment and/or first few sessions. In many cases, I may ask that you come to the office for the initial assessment.
Why Online Counseling May Be The Best Choice For You.
Online counseling offers numerous benefits that can make the process of seeking therapy more accessible and less intimidating.
Convenience: No need to worry about traffic, parking, or taking time off work. You can schedule sessions around your life and join from wherever you are—your living room, a quiet office, or even while sitting in your car at the park.
Comfort: Some people find it easier to open up from the comfort of their own space. Online services allow you to engage in therapy where you feel most at ease, making it easier to be honest and vulnerable.
Accessibility: For those with mobility challenges, living in remote areas, or with busy schedules, online counseling removes barriers that might otherwise prevent you from getting the help you need.
Online Counseling Requirements.
Before starting online services, it’s important to know a few key things to ensure the process goes smoothly:
Privacy and Confidentiality: Just like in-person sessions, your privacy is a top priority. I use a secure, encrypted platform to ensure your conversations are confidential and protected.
Technology Requirements: You’ll need a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone (like a smartphone, tablet, or computer), and a quiet, private space where you can talk freely. You will need to feel generally comfortable with technology.
Ethical Considerations: As a licensed therapist, I adhere to strict ethical guidelines, ensuring that online sessions are conducted with the same level of professionalism and care as face-to-face therapy. This includes maintaining your confidentiality, obtaining informed consent, and providing care that meets your individual needs.

1. Schedule a Consultation.
I offer a complimentary conversation to discuss your specific needs, and any concerns and questions you may have. I'll ask for some basic information to get to know you and also use this time to answer any questions that you might have. If it feels like we are a good fit for working together, we will schedule either an in-person or online appointment.

2. Therapy Begins.
In the first couple of sessions, I will learn more about you and together we will explore the goals you have for therapy.
Goal setting that aligns with your values and needs is very important in counseling. If we want to get somewhere it’s helpful to have a plan. Are we going in the right direction? Are we making the progress that you want? Working on your anxiety is no different and we always want to set you up for success.

3. Start Healing.
Together we will work to explore the root causes of the issues you are wanting to address and find ways to increase calm, compassion and confidence in your life. Let’s work together to help you move from surviving to thriving.

We can discuss this in further detail to ensure you are receiving the support you are looking for.
