Children, marriage, finances, relationships come with many challenges. You don't have to go it alone. Sometimes a friend or family can help, but sometimes you need a professional who can listen to your concerns in a different way and without the emotional baggage or feeling guilty that you are over burdening your family or friends. We can talk, video conference, chat, or message privately and confidentially without feeling judged.
I am committed to providing practical help to those who are struggling with life's daily challenges. At my practice located inTampa Florida, you will find a group of culturally competent, compassionate, and ethical professionals dedicated to strengthening individuals, families, and communities by fostering change and growth through evidenced based services in a caring environment.

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.
