- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I am trained and experienced working in the psychotherapeutic modalities in Grief and Loss, Motivational Interviewing, Seeking Safety, Somatic Psychotherapy, Psychodynamic therapy, LGBTQ issues, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
I am also trained as a vocational nurse, thus am familiar with medication and dietary interactions that may influence people's thoughts and moods.
I've worked with a variety of clients experiencing daily life challenges and transitions that may overwhelm one's capacity to cope and adapt. These challenges may bring about depression, anxiety, questions about one's purpose and meaning in life, interpersonal relationships at home and work. I've also worked with clients struggling with drug use and dependence, often times related to one's prior personal history of abuse and trauma.
My counseling style is open, welcoming, warm and interactive. We can work together to identify and clarify the challenges and issues that are most important to you, then take steps in putting together a treatment plan with goals that are realistic and doable to help boost your sense of empowerment and increase your capacity to live a more satisfying life.
I am at your service, my vast background in Social Work, Clinical Psychology and medical nursing are at your disposal to martial you onwards to wellness. I look forward to working with you one step at a time, at your pace.
I look forward to working 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.
