If you live with chronic illness or care for someone who does, your days likely look different than most. You’re juggling things that often go unseen, and it can feel exhausting, isolating, and hard to explain. Therapy with me is a place where you don’t have to justify why this is difficult. We talk about the real, daily impact—cancelled plans, guilt for needing rest, frustration with medical systems, grief or resentment that catches you off guard, and wondering how long you can keep going this way. I offer a space where you can work through the hard things, laugh or cry, and be seen for who you truly are- judgment free.
Clients describe me as present and attentive, someone who remembers even the small things they share. They often say I’m a good listener- curious, open-minded, and able to bring a warm, playful energy into our work. Sessions are meant to feel steady, grounded, and human. This is not a place where you have to perform, push through, or have it all figured out.
I offer virtual sessions to make therapy more accessible when your energy, health, or caregiving responsibilities are already demanding. If this resonates, I’d be honored to connect. And if I’m not the right therapist for you, I know how hard it can be to find someone who truly understands, and I’m always happy to help point you in the right direction.

Is online counseling (telehealth) effective?

Yes. Research consistently shows that telehealth counseling can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many concerns. How well it works can depend on your comfort with the format, the privacy of your space, and your engagement in the process.

From my own experience providing therapy in a variety of settings, I’ve seen first-hand how meaningful and effective telemental health can be. Many clients find that meeting online makes therapy more accessible, flexible, and comfortable—helping them engage more consistently and apply what we discuss in real time.

That said, I also understand that telehealth isn’t the right fit for everyone. Some people simply feel more comfortable meeting in person or need a different type of support environment. If at any point you feel that telehealth isn’t meeting your needs, we can talk about other options or referrals to ensure you receive care that feels right for you.
