Yes. My services are 100% online and I have been successful in helping many using this method. Our lives can get very busy, whether it's work, classes, family, friends.  Working online allows you therapy without the travel time.  If you are interested in in-person services, please be aware that it is not available at this time.  

Our lives are not just pre-determined by our DNA.  Life experience plays a huge role as well. Negative experiences and trauma can have a big effect on how we see ourselves and our outlook on life.   You might avoid situations that remind you of past experiences or find yourself stuck in patterns you have trouble freeing yourself from.

You may be struggling with depression, bipolar disorder, or anxiety.  It can be difficult to do things that you used to love or you find yourself getting overwhelmed easily. You may be experiencing panic attacks for seemingly unknown reasons.  You might have experienced your mood reaching high highs and low lows.  You may have even experienced paranoia or thoughts that others have found strange or bizarre.  It can be difficult to feel in control of your life with all this going on.  

Sometimes your greatest passion can be the focus of so much pain. We get joy from creating, but also struggle with not feeling good enough. It can be so difficult you might consider giving up on your art altogether.  Balancing art for art's sake with trying to hone your craft can feel paralyzing.
