Life can get serious and messy. Let me help you to learn to smile through the pain and become your greatest version of self! I have a master's degree in social work with more than 17 years' experience in the treatment of mental health and substance use disorders!
You are in the driver's seat! I focus on empowering my clients by helping them to recognize their own strengths with a focus on changing maladaptive thinking patterns. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and substance use. I keep the mood light and humorous, but we can cry and laugh all in the same session!
I want each client to know that no matter what challenges we may face, we WILL make it through and learn to turn even our deepest hurt into a source of power! My desire is for every client to develop strong coping skills to deal with the ebb and flow of life on life's terms. You are never alone!

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.
