Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship issues. Together, we’ll create a hopeful, nonjudgmental space to explore your values and set goals for a better tomorrow. You can book a session with me directly here on BetterHelp.
My counseling approach is generally rooted in cognitive behavioral principles. Together, we’ll work to identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior while developing healthier ways of responding to life’s challenges and improving emotional well-being.
In our first session, I look forward to getting to know you and understanding what brings you to counseling at this time. I am also happy to answer any questions you have as we begin our work together. We will wrap up our initial meeting by establishing a clear focus and a collaborative roadmap for our path forward.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
