About Us
Where It Started
The decision to start a virtual mental health private practice is rooted in my professional experience and a deep understanding of the growing need for accessible mental health services. After 20 years in the people-helping profession, I noticed an increasing demand for flexible options, particularly highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which pushed many individuals to seek support while facing limitations on in-person visits.
This experience motivated me to create a practice that could reach consumers struggling to access traditional therapy due to geographic, mobility, or scheduling constraints. By establishing a virtual practice, I aim to provide high-quality, personalized mental health care that aligns with my values and therapeutic approach. By starting a virtual practice, I can tailor services to meet the needs of my ideal consumers best and focus on areas where I feel I can make the most impact.
