- LCSW, LICSW
I have 18 years of experience providing therapy for all ages from 5 years- old to adults. I have worked providing therapy for children and adults with special needs. I provide an eclectic approach to therapy. I believe in 'starting where the client is." The essential goal of therapy is similar to a Carl Rogers quote stating acceptance of who we are can lead to change. I look forward to traveling the journey of acceptance 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.

Ms. Hookfin is great! She listens to me, doesn’t judge me and she seeks to understand what I’m saying. I feel comfortable talking to her and I love that she responds to my texts every time. I’m looking forward to doing this journey with her!
Ms. Hookfin is the ultimate!! I am always better off after my sessions. She exceeds every expectation I had coming into therapy after years of not seeing anyone. I’m grateful!!
Ms. Hookfin listens and shows shows empathy and compassion while being very down to earth. I would recommend her for anyone searching for a therapist.
Ms. Hookfin is amazing at what she does. She listens first and offers great guidance and resources that promote healing. I can always count on the fact that I can be an open book and there is never any judgement. This is the best I felt in years!
Really takes her time with her clients. You can tell this is something she loves to do and is always caring and passionate when providing insight.
Great therapist giving me the right tools to grow and feel comfortable in the process highly recommend
Having a minority that can understand the dynamics from my own culture helps to get the best out of the sessions
I’m not only highly satisfied with her professionalism and care, but I’m doubly satisfied with the fact that she is southern like me and I don’t have to explain my dialect, cadence and lingo to her. It’s so refreshing.
I like my therapist and I am comfortable communicating with her.
