In today's world, stress and anxiety can play a large roll in the quality of one's life. I believe that I can help you sort out issues and make changes in a different way than family and friends can. Whether you are trying to cope with relationships, parenting, depression and anxiety, or just balancing life, I can offer help and guidance. I am a fully licensed Clinical Social Worker in private psychotherapy practice for over 20 years. I work with adults, individuals and couples. My areas of specialities include anxiety and depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, women's empowerment, divorce and parenting issues. I am also certified as an expressive therapist which allows me to use art, and creative assignments with clients to help them move through the growth process.

Entering into counseling means you have the courage to look at your life and identify what may not be working to your advantage. Once you have taken this step, together we will plan goals, and work towards your well being and happiness.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
