Hello and welcome! I am excited that you are taking the first step toward improving your mental health! I believe the therapeutic relationship is a partnership. Working with the whole person is important to me. You will find that along with doing a mental health assessment, I am also evaluating your physical health. I have found over the years that a person could have a health condition that could cause mental health concerns or amplify mental health symptoms. If needed, I can coordinate with your primary medical provider.
This is my 17th year as a counselor! Time flies! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. It’s been a privilege for me to be able to work with children and adults ranging from 2-62! I currently work with adults starting at age of 18. I work with people that struggle with daily stressors to more severe mental health concerns such as Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, and Bipolar. I also have experience running a Divorcing Parenting Group that identifies how you can help both your children and yourself!
The counseling relationship that I have with a person is a client-centered approach. I will follow your lead to help you to identify your own goals and therapeutic path. I use the recovery model, where I believe that you can recover from a mental health condition through therapy and/or medication management if needed.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out! I look forward to meeting you!

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.
