Everyone has worries and problems and at times we all need help navigating them. If life’s problems are more than you can manage on your own, if you're holding onto worries that you just can't let go — whether it’s anxiety, grief, or the feeling that nothing feels right, then maybe it is time to do something different. I work with adults who want to feel more grounded, connected, and hopeful, offering a compassionate, client‐centered approach that meets you where you are.” I too was once in the same position and finally reached out for the assistance I needed to put my life back into order. I encourage you to do the same.
I began my journey in counseling with my own recovery from PTSD and Alcoholism in 2005. I received an AA degree in Substance Abuse Counseling from Amarillo College, I then moved to Missouri and obtained a BS in Psychology from Missouri University of Science and Technology and then competed my academic studies with a MA in counseling from Webster University.

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.
