Do any of the following statements resonate with you? You’re starting to have physical symptoms along with your anxious thoughts. You think that you’re the only one who is lonely. You feel stuck in life but you’re not completely sure why. You have patterns of chaotic or unhealthy relationships. You know the trauma is over, but it’s hard to move forward. You feel burdened with secrets of your past. If so, I'm here to help! I have expertise in working with anxiety, depression and trauma.
I have experience in both short-term, solution-focused therapy and longer-term therapy to best assist clients. I often give my clients individualized, practical suggestions to alleviate their symptoms during the very first session. Additionally, I am a certified trauma specialist and a certified adolescent trauma specialist.
I have over 20 years of clinical experience and I am passionate about my work. I take great pleasure in seeing my clients transition from feelings of despair to feelings of hope and strength. What makes me different? I’m very down to earth. I accept people with a lot of compassion, just as they are, without judgement.

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.
