Hello! Thank you for visiting my page. I have been in the mental health field for 8 years. I have a wide experience with ages ranging from children to adult with various client focused treatment models. My specialities include anxiety, depression, pre/post natal conditions, life transitions, stress management, and family/couples counseling services.

Everyone needs help from time to time. Sometimes things can just get tough, and talking to someone can be the beginning steps in finding relief and hope for a better tomorrow. Therapy is hard but the benefits of working on yourself is worth it… You are worth it! And I am here to help.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
