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 am certified by PSYPACT for Interjurisdictional (Interstate) Telepsychology practice. I use HIPAA-compliant secure video conferencing, and most testing can be performed online as well. I have found that a video conference, in which masks are not needed, allow us to make more real connections than mask-to-mask in the office. Facial expressions can be read and responded to much more effectively in video conference, compared to wearing masks.  

Sometimes it may not be practical to meet in a therapy office, especially with the current pandemic. As a result, I offer online therapy to meet my patient's needs. We meet face-to-face in my virtual office and are still able to establish that therapeutic connection.
