The pangs of grief, collective grief, are as inconsistent and yet as rhythmic as the waves crashing on the ocean floor.

Making time for yourself is not an easy thing to do. So often, people tell me they wish they could see a psychologist, but they just can't find a way to fit it into their busy lives. For those living in more rural areas, finding a nearby provider can prove to be very challenging. Making access to care more convenient is one way to overcome this barrier to treatment. Telepsychology allows for treatment in the privacy of your own home, on a more flexible schedule. Feel free to contact me for more information on how to obtain these services either in FL or in NY.
