LCSW

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with over 20 years experience working with teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, life transitions, and eating disorders. I take a solution-focused, strengths-based approach to therapy, offering practical tools that foster self-awareness, confidence, and lasting change.

My style is direct but always grounded in kindness, respect, and compassion. I believe in meeting you where you are and helping you move toward where you want to be—with clarity, confidence, and support. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something to shift, I'm here to walk alongside you with care and purpose.

My goal is to create a supportive, non-judgemental space where one can explore their thoughts, emotions and behaviors while building practical skills to navigate life's challenges. Together we will work on strategies to empower you to create meaningful change to improve your over all well being.

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.
