As a licensed clinical social worker with over 22 years of experience, I have the education and training to provide the necessary skills and support to help assist you in achieving your goals.
From my experience working with young adults and their parent/s as a youth counselor in a residential treatment center, being employed as a social worker in a community mental health center and spending 13 years working with students and families in 7-12 grade school.
Currently I am the owner/operator of my own business providing individual, couples, group and family counseling as well as webinars and trainings.
I have learned that every person has their own strengths that are unique to them. It is these strengths, once identified, that will help you achieve and reach your goals.
If you don't know what your goals are, that's O.K. We will figure them out together as we address your concerns, all the while moving towards your objectives.

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.
