- LCSW
Hello, I'm an adolescent and family therapist based out of Sarasota, Fl. I am passionate about helping youth who are struggling with intense emotions, difficulty expressing themselves, and are having frequent conflicts at home or school. I have experience working in Baker Act facilities and have experience helping those in crisis. I can also help parents who may feel overwhelmed and unsure how to support their child. These families want peace, stronger communication, and tools to manage stress and anger. They seek understanding and a safe space to rebuild connection and trust with one another.

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.
