Three words that describe my style are:
Creative, Open-Minded, Passionate
Something unique about my approach is:
I have a diverse background working in many environments and with many populations. Plus, I utilize my experiences, personally and professionally, to engage clients to begin their healing journeys. I am direct and compassionate and my goal is to develop a unique treatment plan that fits your healing style and pace.
Together we will explore:
Steps for Healing, Personal Inventories, Actions to Support Recovery, and Connections to Resources.
I specialize in working with people who:
Are willing and desire change, despite it being hard to confront! and individuals that are open to exploring their role within their relationships. I can show you how to walk through grief, pain, depression with grace, integrity, humility and be a better person for embracing change.
I became a therapist because:
I have always been fascinated by others and their thinking and behaviors. The ability to impact change within personal lives is a privilege.
Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:
Teletherapy allows you to be in the comfort of your own home and offers flexibility in scheduling.
When I’m not at work, I like to:
Exercise (training for a full marathon), cooking, taking "Day Trips" and hanging out with friends, family and pets and creative outlets (writing, podcasts, community projects).
More about me:
I have over 20 years experience in the Mental Health field. I "walk the walk" when talking about change.

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.
