Hi, and thank you for reading my profile.

In my practice, I focus on helping clients overcome mental and physical health barriers. I specialize in solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and holistic healthcare. I primarily work with adults from diverse cultural backgrounds, aiming to help individuals find peace in their daily lives, acceptance in their choices, and develop tools to manage stress.

My counseling style is laid-back. I’ve been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a good sense of humor (as noted by me, with a smile!). I focus on identifying your strengths and helping you maximize them to overcome obstacles. I’m here to help you navigate the challenges you’re facing and to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be open and honest.

Reaching out for help is the first and most important step, and I’m sorry that you’re going through a tough time right now. However, I’m really glad you’re here, and I’d like to support you as you work through these struggles. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe and supportive environment.

I bring over 25 years of experience as a clinical social worker, working with a wide range of ages and cultural backgrounds. More personally, my experience as a mother of a child with mental health challenges has given me a deep understanding of navigating the healthcare system and finding necessary resources.

If you’re in crisis and feel you may harm yourself or others, please call 911 or the 24-hour emergency crisis hotline. BetterHelp does not offer crisis counseling, but immediate help is available.

After reviewing my profile, feel free to ask any questions or schedule a time to talk, either by phone or video. If you need assistance scheduling, please reach out to me or the BetterHelp team. I look forward to working with you on this journey.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
