As a licensed clinical social worker with over three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on addressing challenges such as depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, and grief, with a compassionate approach tailored to each client's unique needs.
I have extensive experience working with diverse populations, including veterans, caregivers, and individuals struggling with social anxiety, panic disorders, and mood-related challenges. My therapeutic approach is grounded in understanding the intricate dynamics of communication, self-esteem, and personal growth.
My commitment is to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop coping strategies, and work towards meaningful personal transformation. I believe in empowering individuals to discover their inner strengths and resilience, helping them move through life's challenges with
greater confidence and clarity.
I welcome an opportunity to work together!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
