I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and over 13 years of comprehensive clinical experience. I have experience treating teenagers, adults, geriatrics, and couples, with diverse backgrounds and range of concerns. I work with couples in all stages of relationships, and I provide treatment to people of every race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.
My passion and expertise lies in treating depression, anxiety, substance abuse, self-esteem, interpersonal conflict, family counseling, parenting, parent-child relationship issues and all that it encompasses. I also work with divorced and single parents, and blended families.

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.
