I want to work with clients by making a genuine connection. This trust is valuable to me. I look forward to working with you. This is your time to grow.
I have 22 years of experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I want to work with clients by making a genuine connection. This trust is valuable to me. I look forward to working with you. This is your time to grow.
I am client-centered when I work with clients. I meet you where you are, and we go on this journey together. I also have experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy as well.
I have experience with trauma clients and those with a diagnosis of depression and anxiety. I also work with Bipolar disorders as well.
I like to create a safe and supportive environment for my clients. I am soft but direct, and I will hopefully make you think. Clients have said that therapy was like a conversation and that it was helpful. I look forward to this time with you.
Therapy can only work by examining how and why setting goals is important. This is what guides therapy. The client is in control of their goals. As a therapist, I can provide support and work with you on this. This can make therapy rewarding.
I was going to be a speech pathologist, but it didn't work out that way. I had always liked to talk with my friends about whatever was on their minds. I saw that counseling was a genuine way to connect with others in a helpful way.
The first session is about the assessment. This is a thorough examination of pertinent issues. Using tools, this is a good foundation for therapy.

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.
