Distance Counseling
If you would like to work with me but cannot make it to Seattle, we can work online over video. For distance counseling sessions, I use the HIPAA-compliant platform Doxy to protect your privacy and confidentiality.
How Does Distance Counseling Work?
Distance counseling works in much the same way as traditional face-to-face therapy. We will have a set time for our sessions and connect with the use of our computers (or phones), microphones, and video cameras. When the time for our session comes, you will simply click on a link I provide to you and connect to me online. There is no need for you to download or install anything.

Is Distance Counseling Effective?
Yes. Research studies (and my own experience) strongly suggest that distance counseling is as effective as in-person therapy for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma.
How Much Does Distance Counseling Cost?
My fees for online sessions are the same as my fees for in-person sessions. Please see the Fees page for details
