I am a marriage and family therapist who has been providing clinical care for over 15 years. I have worked with individuals, couples, families in all populations of people. I am able to work with people in all areas of mental health (anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, trauma, body image, bi-polar, family conflict/resolution, couple's counseling, etc.)

My therapy style of solution focused and narrative in nature, as I like to hear people's stories and how they have come to where they are currently. I have experience in using EMDR and other therapeutic techniques (CBT, DBT, emotionally focused, solution-focused, Bowenian, structured, etc.).

I am here to support you and help make you feel better in every area.

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.
