Hello! My name is Bonnie and I am a licensed mental health therapist. I received my master's degree in 2019 and began working as a therapist in January 2020. I've been in this field since 2015, when I began working as a counselor in a residential mental health group home. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I view therapy as a very collaborative process, where you and I will work together to help you make positive change in your life. Deciding to sign up for therapy is a big step and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
