Video & Phone Telehealth Therapy & Life Coaching
I offer virtual video and phone therapy & life coaching through my online portal, all from the comfort and convenience of your home or remote location. Many of my clients have indicated that they experience a higher degree of comfort, privacy and safety by working with me over the phone or online. They often feel more comfortable in their familiar surroundings – whether by closing their office door during business hours – or in their favorite chair in their home. Some clients have even expressed feeling a greater degree of anonymity over remotely, allowing them to more easily share intimate or private details of their lives.
​
If you're uncertain what works best for you, we can meet in person or online or both; you may then decide what you're more comfortable with.
​
Here are just some of the benefits that my clients enjoy, opting for some or all sessions to be remote:
​
-
Convenient scheduling for people who work long or unusual hours, or, for my coaching clients - who are traveling anywhere in the world
-
Covid or other illnesses that prevent leaving home but not communicating
-
Using the phone can replace office appointments which cannot be kept, allowing the healing momentum to continue uninterrupted
-
Freedom to speak openly – some people will open up to a counselor more freely over the phone, which speeds the healing process
-
No travel time, saving time and gas while avoiding traffic and bad weather
-
Identity protection – You will not be seen entering a counseling office
-
Access from anywhere, even in areas where few counselors exist
-
Good when you are home-bound because of severe anxiety, physical limitations, or if you cannot leave your small children at home
-
A good way to try out counseling if you have never tried it
Remote sessions also result in successful outcomes. I offer virtual coaching and counseling not only for individuals, but also for couples and families.

The American Psychological Association website reported on a study published by the Journal of Counseling Psychology which indicates that telephone counseling has been shown to be effective.​​
