Teletherapy and communication options

Her practice highlights support for mood concerns, stress, caregiving strain, relationship and communication problems, life transitions, and other listed focus areas.
Online sessions can be arranged using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing for flexibility in how people prefer to connect. These formats support ongoing dialogue, check-ins between sessions, and coordinated planning for coping skills or problem solving.
