Hello! I don't know you, but I want you to know that you are incredibly brave for taking the initial step and seeking help and support. Life can be hard and overwhelming, but you no longer need to go it alone! I believe healing is possible for everyone-including you!
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of professional counseling experience. I have worked in an array of settings including private office, justice system, in-home, and telehealth. I am experienced in working with life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Things happen- you may have lost your job, your relationship may have ended, or maybe you moved and you feel disconnected. Perhaps you cannot seem to stop thinking about the same worry and it is beginning to impact your quality of life. Maybe you suddenly feel like staying in bed and have little interest in seeing friends- and you just are not sure what is going on with you. Maybe the trauma you endured in childhood- the trauma you thought had no impact on your life, just began popping up in your romantic relationship and you are feeling scared and confused. Through counseling, you can develop a deeper understanding of yourself, develop coping skills for difficult moments in life, achieve your goals, and start to feel like you again, and even learn who you are.
I do not believe counseling is one-size-fits-all. I do not work from one therapeutic model, but draw on several, which provides you with the most effective treatment approach. I work collaboratively with my clients; as a team. I believe you are the expert on yourself. With that said, I will still challenge behaviors and thinking patterns that work against your goals. Sometimes we are in our own way, and we will work to abolish habits and patterns that keep you stuck.
I congratulate you on taking this step in beginning to get back to yourself!
I do have a set schedule, Tuesday's, Wednesday's, and Thursday's I hold sessions at 6pm, 7pm, 8pm. I am sometimes able to accommodate a make-up session on an alternative day when my schedule allows.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
