- LCSW
My experience as a social worker spans over forty years. I have worked in a variety of venues with a wide range client population. My six specialties include adolescent and adult substance abuse, anger management, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and stress management. Additionally, I provide therapy for all of the issues, stated in this profile. Furthermore, I provide individual, couples counseling, and family therapy, I am very aware that making the decision to get counseling, can be a very anxiety provoking situation. Can I expect confidentiality? What is the therapy experience like? Actually, taking the step to get counseling is a huge strength!
You and I will work as a team, to improve, and ultimately, to resolve your issues. We will custom make a treatment plan, that is suitable for you, as an individual, couple, or a family member.
In our first session, my priority will be to help you feel comfortable as well as addressing your concerns, and questions. It is extremely rewarding for me to help you reach your fullest potential, and assist you to lead a fulfilling life, and my best effort will be consistently provided.

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.
