- LMFT
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience in the field of therapy and hold licenses in the states of Michigan, New York, Oklahoma, and Texas. I am a highly-skilled, compassionate, and empathetic psychotherapist and an effective communicator, with an innate ability to establish rapport, build trust, interact with and relate to individuals, couples, and families on many levels. I provide psychotherapy in outpatient settings to clients using systematic criteria for assessment, intervention, and treatment. She encourages her clients to develop and use skills and strategies for confronting their problems in a constructive manner. Because there is no one solution or one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, I am to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for all clients.

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.
