I am an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor with over 35 years of experience supporting adults and adolescents through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. My work focuses on helping individuals, families and couples address anxiety and depression related issues, trauma, relationship difficulties, work stress, and family concerns. I have a particular interest in guiding clients through the healing process following traumatic experiences, and offering compassionate support to those struggling with self-image, grief, and loss. By providing a calm and grounded presence, I'm able to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their concerns, clarify their goals, and implement meaningful strategies for change. My client centered approach empowers individuals, couples and families to better understand themselves and move toward emotional well-being with confidence and clarity. Choosing growth and healing by seeking therapy is a brave and powerful act. I look forward to joining you as you navigate the path to a better future.

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.
