Virtual Therapy:
Whenever possible, I recommend that individuals seek a therapist in their community with whom they can develop an in-person relationship. There is a quality to that relationship that cannot be captured through electronic media. That being said , I also understand that many individuals do not have access to such a relationship for a myriad of reasons and for these folks, accessing therapy via electronic media can be a perfect fit. In some cases, virtual therapy allows for flexibility or a feeling of anonymity that makes accessing therapy at all a possibility for some people.
Living and working in a small rural community myself, I understand the
particular limitations and difficulties of small town life. If you
live in a rural community with limited access to therapy or concerns about
confidentiality when accessing therapy in your own community, then virtual
therapy may be an option worth exploring. If you think this style of work
would be a good fit for you, or you simply have further questions about it,
please feel free to contact me for further discussion.
Please be advised that as a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed by
the state of California, I am only able to work with individuals or
couples who reside in California.
My Therapeutic Style:
My therapeutic style is interactive and client centered. I enjoy working
collaboratively with individuals and couples to develop a course of
therapy suited to each persons unique circumstances.
I have experience working with grief and loss, self-esteem and
assertiveness, anger, depression, GSD issues, and the fall out from all
forms of child abuse. I have also worked with individuals affected by
substance abuse and with issues of migration and cross cultural
adaptation. I will be happy to speak with you further about my work,
answer any questions you may have about therapy, or simply help you find
the right therapist for you. Good luck on your search and remember, it's
your therapy, don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions.
Give me a call. I look forward to speaking with you.
