- 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, 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.
