I loved this book as a child. However, it’s hard to read this book as an adult and not cringe. It’s a great story — but it’s definitely NOT heartwarming to watch a lonely, love-starved tree being systematically dismantled by a self-serving human from whom it so desperately wants companionship.
Relationships ought to be mutually fulfilling.

Telehealth, in response to COVID-19, has been a better experience than I initially anticipated. However, I’m looking forward to returning to my office sometime in the near (I hope) future!

There are many women who have spent their lives wondering, “what is wrong with me?” Unfortunately, many of them still get misdiagnosed with anxiety and/or depression (which are commonly experienced in those who have flown under the radar, struggling in silence — but often distract clinicians from seeing the original problem). If you have ever suspected that you may suffer from ADHD, seek out a mental health professional for an evaluation. It is not just a children’s diagnosis. It does not disappear in adulthood.

What is it like to work with a professional counselor?

04/11/2020

Telehealth (video or phone appointments) has quickly become the new norm for most healthcare providers. Most importantly, as a delivery method for psychotherapy, years of research has proven it to be as effective as face-to-face counseling sessions. At a time when everything seems further out of reach, we in the counseling profession have made our services MORE accessible.

There’s more to the age-old advice to just “talk it out” than there seems. Here’s some of the evidence that explains why it is so helpful.

There are many ways that professional counselors can help you learn to effectively manage worry, stress and anxiety.

For most of us, daily life feels unfamiliar right now. In times of change, it becomes more difficult to cope with challenges and stress. It can be even more overwhelming when we are experiencing a sense of loneliness/isolation, economic uncertainty and concern for our health and the health of our loved ones. Insurance companies are currently expanding their coverage of telehealth services. I offer video-counseling sessions through a private, HIPAA-compliant telehealth application. If you’ve ever considered seeing a counselor, or are interested in exploring how counseling can benefit you during this difficult time, please message me to schedule a free consultation to learn about the details of video-counseling, discuss insurance/fees and schedule your first session.
