Meeting in-person provides the
experience of connecting and being
fully seen by another person.

In-person, face-to-face therapy helps
​build a positive and trusting
relationship between you and me, which is
crucial for your successful therapy. 
Empirical research, i.e.,
actual observable evidence, shows that
the therapeutic bond between
​the therapist and her client leads to
​better outcomes, more than specific techniques.1

We live in a digital age where many of
our interactions are now virtual.

Sometimes we are simply reading words on a screen.
​Sometimes, we interact through audio and video.
Online interactions are convenient and allow us to meet with people across great distances. 

​Being with someone in-person is getting to
​feel and sense the other person and they us.

I look forward to meeting you in-person in my office.
