Online Therapy

​

I provide online therapy in the state of Wisconsin. Per state regulations, therapists must be licensed in the states where their clients are located or provide services internationally (outside of the United States). 

​

Why Online Therapy

Online is a really great option for individuals who live in rural areas, have time restraints, or simply just feel like we are a great fit and we live too far away from one another. Work life and personal life can become really hectic and therefore, online therapy can be a great option to fit in during lunchtime. If you're a parent, this is a great fit too! 

​
