Virtual Therapy
Therapy should be accessible in a way that works for you and your life. Whether getting to an appointment is difficult, you live rurally, have a busy schedule, or simply feel more comfortable meeting from home, virtual therapy offers a flexible way to access support.
I provide psychological therapy exclusively through secure virtual appointments. Virtual therapy has the same purpose and goals as in-person therapy, and research shows that it can be just as effective for many concerns. It offers the opportunity to build a meaningful therapeutic relationship, explore what you're experiencing, and work toward change, all from a space where you feel comfortable.
You don't need to travel to an office or build extra time into your day for a commute. Instead, you can access therapy from home or another private location that works for you.
What to Expect
Sessions take place through secure video conferencing, where we can see and hear each other much as we would in an in-person session. Before your appointment, you'll receive a link to join the virtual waiting room. When it's time for your session, I'll meet you there.
You'll need a computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a reliable internet connection, a camera, and a microphone. It's also helpful to have access to a phone in case we experience a connection issue during your session.
If video isn't the best fit for you, phone sessions may also be an option, depending on your needs and the circumstances.
Is Virtual Therapy Right for You?
Virtual therapy can make accessing support more convenient and flexible. You can attend sessions without worrying about commuting, traffic, or winter weather, and it may be easier to fit appointments around work, family responsibilities, or other commitments. It can also be a helpful option if you live in a rural or remote area and have fewer local services available.
For some people, meeting from home can feel more comfortable and make it easier to open up. Others may need to find a private space away from family members, roommates, or other distractions. What matters is finding an environment where you can speak openly and feel able to engage in the work we're doing together.
Virtual therapy can be an effective way to receive psychological care and build a strong therapeutic relationship. While it may not be the best fit for everyone or every situation, we will consider your needs and circumstances when determining whether it's a good fit for you.
