My approach centers on compassionate, holistic care that addresses challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.

My therapeutic practice focuses on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, overcome isolation, certified in addiction counseling and trauma. along with rediscovering your life purpose. I understand the intricate ways emotional challenges intersect—from workplace stress to relationship struggles, from trauma recovery to managing mood disorders.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amazing person and listener, always providing tools and ways to deal with anxiety and stress and she gives you the confidence to use those tools.

I have a short history with Pam but think she has hit the nail on the head with me. I am looking forward to continuing my relationship with her.
Pam has been helpful and kind for our first two sessions.
Pamela has been a great therapist. She is empathic when I share my struggles, and she celebrates with me when I have victories. She provides homework which I like because I can put what we’ve talked about to practice. She has offered me many new ideas and advice for situations I have/am going through that I did not know before. And I feel very comfortable talking to her as well!
Pamela is really helping me to begin to understand & begin sort through my problems. I feel fortunate & blessed to have her help me on this journey .
I appreciate the great advice.
Better Help has offered several platforms to help me work through my anxiety and learning how to heal from Co-Dependency and past Trauma. Pamela has been key to keeping me grounded. She understands the person I am and how to guide me to the places I need to heal. She is supportive and is always there when I send a journal entry or a message to encourage me and remind me I am not alone. She uses tools such as "thought logs" and "cognitive behavior distortions" worksheets as well, both are extremely helpful to keep me focused and to retrain my brain to healthy thinking.
She is kind respectful. Nice kind and very knowledgeable
She is simply amazing listens executes a plan and she is there when I need her.
Pamela as been very helpful at providing tools and strategies for addressing my anxious worries. She has helped me identify and connect my traumas to my anxiety, and shown how the brain creates subconscious responses.
