I provide therapy to individuals and couples experiencing stress, addiction, trauma, anxiety, and depression symptoms using a variety of treatment approaches including CBT, Mindfulness, and Solution Focussed Therapy. I teach communication skills, anger management, and provide treatment to enable people to improve their lives and relationships, better connect with others, themselves, and reach meaningful life goals. I've worked in private practice, for the military, and for private non-profit organizations for over 18 years as a Marriage and Family Therapist.
Our life experiences impact how we think, feel, and act. It is so helpful to understand how our beliefs and experiences shape us and how important it is to gain skills, support and care for our mental wellness as well as our physical wellness.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
