Telehealth Therapy 

Telehealth therapy, also known as remote therapy, is conducted via video and/or phone sessions for all CA residents.  Life can get busy and I want to support you in your most convenient platform.  Teletherapy is optimal for individuals with complicated schedules due to work, frequent traveling, illness, new mothers or even battling crowded traffic during rush hours.  Therapy can take place in the convenience of your home or current location.  Numerous studies have shown that telehealth is equally as effective as in-person office appointments, and at times more helpful in creating a safe space to achieve the meaningful work in therapy. Same session fees apply for phone and video therapy appointments.  

Video conference sessions are conducted through Simple Practice, a secure HIPAA compliant online electronic health recording system.  Before each session, you will receive an email link to our virtual therapy room. To log in, you will simply click on my video link and be directed into our virtual waiting room.   

The idea of therapy itself can sometimes spike some anxiety. This is normal!  The more we meet and familiarize with the process, it will get better.   The goal is to recognize that our work together is meaningful and you notice healthier changes in your life.
