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, 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.
