I am a licensed clinician certified in Death and Grief Studies with over 30 years of experience and a heartfelt passion for supporting individuals through the often challenging journey of grief and loss. I work with children, teens, and adults across all ages providing personalized care tailored to your unique experiences and needs.

My therapeutic approach combines evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with experiential techniques that encourage healing through active participation. Whether you are coping with loss, managing stress, or seeking personal growth, my goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel truly heard and supported.

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.
