Pick up your phone, laptop, or tablet and log on. All you need is a good internet connection or cellular service and privacy. I also do psychological testing remotely. Reach out and schedule a FREE consultation today to see if working with me is the right decision for you. I am here to help you.  

With technology, you can experience all the benefits of in-person therapy on secure, easy-to-use, high-quality internet platforms. Online sessions allow you to do therapy in the comfort of your own home or allow you flexibility in environments that best suit you. It can be especially helpful to those who find it challenging to travel to an office for appointments due to location, work, children at home, lifestyle, or other practical or personal reasons. While there are multiple ways that counseling can take place online, I work primarily with face-to-face video conferencing via Zoom and, on occasion, telephone sessions. I always hold my sessions in a quiet and confidential space, giving you the same confidentiality & professionalism that you experience within an office setting. Most, if not all, of my clients, find virtual sessions to be highly effective and convenient. They allow for the comfort and safety of therapy in your own space, and no travel time is often less vulnerable than needing to go to an office. Research of multiple studies finds that online therapy is equally effective as in-person for most cases. That being said I always advocate for what works best for each individual and it is wonderful to have choices to find your best path whichever that may be. If you are not super-computer savvy or are anxious about how to use technology, I will work to make it as seamless as possible. I have chosen a platform that is easy to use and I am happy to assist you with any questions or concerns. A common concern I hear from clients regarding online therapy is finding a quiet and/or confidential space when you’re homebound with children and/or family members or roommates. Be sure and scope this out in advance so you are guaranteed quiet and privacy during your session. Since it is so convenient many times people forget to allow themselves a few minutes to "switch hats" and allow themselves a few breaths and get settled into being present and in the head/body space for your session. Headphones or Airpods can often make audio clearer or ensure more privacy but are not necessary. Given that video sessions can be conducted on your smartphone, clients have found it helpful to go to a park, sit in their car in the driveway, and/or walk around your neighborhood. Get creative and support yourself. Find a private space that allows you to receive support no matter where you are. You are welcome to have pets join your space if you find that comforting, and supporting, and you may see my fellow feline/canine therapists join in one of our sessions on my end.  

I offer online teletherapy using a secure, HIPPA compliant video conferencing platform. You will be able to engage in therapy services from the convenience and comfort of your home. Live video and electronic handouts provide an effective and engaging counseling experience.  

I offer the option of online therapy for Florida residents, and residents of states included in Psypact. In person sessions in Naples are available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. In person sessions in Miami are available on Fridays and Saturdays.

Doing this leads to productive positive mental health change. Our goal is to provide high quality and effective therapy for lasting change. Counseling sessions are 50 minutes in duration.  

During online sessions we will work to increase coping skills, identify emotions and beliefs in order to gain clarity about what is holding you back. Together we will also identify patterns and communication barriers to help you engage in life authentically. You can expect these sessions to feel engaging , yet also bring you greater awareness of what is holding you back.  

Therapy as a practice has never been about the pursuit of individual perfection. Instead, therapy is a journey in accepting our imperfections, championing our strengths, and realizing that we are not the sum of the worst things we have experienced or have done in life. You are worthy of grace. You are intrinsically valuable. And you are worthy of a life fulfilled.

In my online therapy practice, I specialize in EMDR therapy as a transformative approach to assist individuals in their journey towards healing from trauma and narcissistic abuse, ultimately guiding them back to a place of self-love and emotional equilibrium. The lingering effects of childhood physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, along with the enduring impact of narcissistic abuse, can become deeply entrenched within the body, leading to symptoms of depression, anxiety, hypervigilance, and challenges in navigating relationships and daily life. I employ a video platform known as remotEMDR, which is specifically designed to facilitate EMDR therapy. This innovative approach aims to reshape the way these distressing memories are stored in the brain, fostering resolution and inner peace. To complement this therapy, I incorporate mind-body practices such as mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork, all of which serve to amplify the healing process. Drawing on my background as a neuropsychologist, I possess the expertise to help individuals identify their blind spots, condition their thoughts, and ultimately rewire their brains for enduring happiness and success. My mission is to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to healing that empowers individuals on their path to transformation and well-being.  

Virtual treatment allows us to offer high-quality, effective anxiety & OCD treatments for most US states. Our practice is located in Denver, CO, but we are able to provide telehealth services to treat anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, agoraphobia, mood disorders, and much more for all PSYPACT states.  

I have been working mostly online since 2020 and have found this to be effective and convenient although I realize that some people, understandably, prefer to meet in person.  

I'm accepting telehealth (online) clients in most states via PSYPACT, an interjurisdictional practice compact which facilitates greater access to specialized care. I use a HIPAA compliant electronic health record in order to protect your privacy. We can meet anywhere you have privacy, feel safe to be yourself, and have a reliable internet connection. This often involves meeting in the comfort of your home, a (non-moving) vehicle, or your place of employment. I've found that online therapy allows increased flexibility/convenience and reduces time and resources spent driving to and from an office location. If you have questions about meeting via telehealth, I'm happy to answer them in our initial consultation.
