"WELCOME TO MY VIRTUAL OFFICE."
 |
Please
find yourself a comfortable chair and we can talk together via
email. My experience with cyber - counseling has proven to be
both rewarding and inspirational for myself and my clients. For
these reasons, I decided to design my office this way. This mode
of therapy permits us to be in touch 24 hours/7 days a week. You
can depend on me to respond to your email within 24 hours. |
Getting Started With Cyber Therapy
I offer fee-based online mental health counseling and cyber therapy through email. Get started by asking me a question.
My Personal Beliefs
"I specialize in treating adjustment disorders
which may include emotional discomfort due to illness, loss,
relationships, relocation, employment issues, abuse, family dynamics, etc... My
belief is that the mind and body cannot be viewed as separate. I do not
diagnose adjustment issues as pathology "within a person," rather, I
view problems as readjustments to the context of a person's life and
situations.
I am a member and supporter of PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays). I have experience counseling Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual, and Trans-sexual singles and couples, as well as their friends and families.
I do believe that emotional difficulties can be
exacerbated by physiological causes. In those cases I may refer my
clients to an M.D. for an evaluation of possible physical implications
and/or to consider possible medical treatment."
