I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in the state of California. I have had the opportunity to serve in various roles and across a wide age range including pregnancy through end of life transitions for the past 20 years. Experiences including parent bonding and coaching, couples counseling, depression and anxiety, group work, and building a healthy self concept. Therapy approaches includes cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness and meditation practices, behavioral approaches, solution focused methods, family structure building, and attachment and bonding work. It is my belief that personal goal development is also an important part of the treatment plan and process.

I am looking forward to building a working relationship with you!

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.
