Hi. Welcome to Better Help. If you are searching Better Help you are most likely going through something that is impacting your life. Trying to find the right counselor is important. You need to have a good relationship with your counselor to be able to open up and get through the struggles in your life. I want to provide you with information about myself to see if you think we would be a good match.
I am a social worker licensed in the state of Michigan and I have been in the field for three years. I have worked with clients with a wide variety of concerns including depression, anxiety , OCD, Bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, Borderline personality disorder, PTSD, substance use, grief, and relationship issues. I have helped many people who have experienced trauma in their life.
My therapy style is warm, kind and compassionate. I want to be a positive person who can provide you the support you need in these difficult times. I like to provide an enriching and open environment free of judgement or criticism. I want to be able to create a comfortable environment so you are able to express your struggles and what is going on in your life. I like to use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. I also take a person centered approach to my work and treatment plan. I want you to be in charge of what goals we work towards and in developing your goals. We will work together to tailor a plan and treatment specifically for you.
I want to interact in whatever way is most comfortable to you. I am available for live sessions, phone sessions and messaging. We can use any combination of these or just one that you are comfortable with. It takes courage to seek out help and to want to better your life. I am here to support you on your journey and help you through the struggles. Please feel free to reach out to me.
I look forward to hearing from 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.
