I am a seasoned therapist skilled with many populations. I have worked in the field for over 20 years. My approach is not always by the book but works. I am very stress focused and real with my clients. I mix humor in with the deeper work that needs to be done. I am well respected at my current job and work with some of the tougher clients such as ones with personality disorders, history of cutting self and numerous suicidal attempts. I have worked additionally with many LBGQ clients.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
