Welcome! I’m glad that you have decided to reach out for guidance-how courageous! I look forward to getting to know more about you as well as what brought you here as I feel as though that's an important part of the therapeutic relationship. Here’s a bit about me professionally: I'm a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida, National Certified Counselor and Florida state certified school counselor (PK-12). I have experience with all ages, backgrounds and cultures experiencing life's challenges. My goal is to help you move forward with the end result of a better You. Clients typically seek my services for anxiety, stress, relationship and life change related issues. I'll look forward to hearing how I can support you during our time together. My therapeutic style is eclectic, I tend to meet my client's where they are at and incorporate Cognitive Behavioral therapy, trauma-focused CBT, Solution-Focused, Narrative and Gottman Method.
A bit about me personally is that I live in the Tampa Bay area, have a husband, toddler and three rescue dogs so I run on caffeine! I'll look forward to connecting and addressing any questions/concerns you may have about this process!

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.
