I have more than 30 years of experience working with people from all walks of life. I am both honored and humbled that so many people have allowed me to work with them, and from them, I have grown personally and professionally in so many ways. I believe providing care that is sensitive and compassionate, while also working for solutions and/or resolutions that improve happiness and quality of life.  I believe counseling is a team effort, but that you, the client, is the most important person on the team. I support client choices and self-determination while using evidence-based practices for best results! 
Currently I live with my husband and 5 fur babies, enjoy my two children and four grandchilden, traveling, and my many hobbies!

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.
