- LCSW-C, LICSW
As a Clinical Social Worker, I have provided counseling services within various agencies since 2002. My work is focused on enhancing the emotional well-being of those who are experiencing combat trauma, grief and loss, domestic violence, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and childhood trauma. My training has afforded me with the opportunity to assist individuals and families with establishing a foundation for the long-term management of their mental health needs.
My goal is to create an environment that is trusting, and safe, one that facilitates the establishment of a positive and supportive therapeutic relationship. This therapeutic alliance assists patients in being able to confront trauma in a manner that ultimately facilitates the possibility for change and promotes emotional healing within their lives.
I am a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist and trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy, (CPT), Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, (PP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (CBT), EMDR and Intimate Partner Violence, (IPV).

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.
