ONLINE COUNSELING CAN HELP
Feeling alone? We are all struggling to figure out this brand new world that we live in, and sometimes it's really scary. People of all ages are trying to adjust the best way they can. Children may be cranky, have trouble sleeping, cry more easily, or show changes in their behavior or attitude. High school seniors are struggling to get through a new kind of senioritis while mourning the end of their childhood and dealing with college and work-life beginnings being put on hold. College students feel uncertain and new grads don't know where to start. And most people aren't sure if they can manage finances and juggle everything else. Our senior adults are terrified and feel alone. I can help you work through your feelings during COVID19 and gain a sense of control in a time when everything feels out of control and chaotic. An quote that gives me hope: "Sometimes in the winds of change we find our true direction."
HOW DOES ONLINE
COUNSELING WORK?
Online therapy can be intimidating and many people start out feeling self-conscious, myself included. I have found that covering the video feed of myself helps me a lot. Otherwise, I tend to focus on how much I talk with my hands and how I should really stop doing that, LOL! Some of my clients let the camera point to the ceiling so they feel better. There are a lot of options and I am very flexible. Check out more about Online Therapy below:
