- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with a master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Central Florida and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from La Sierra University, in Riverside, California.
My areas of experience include: trauma-informed treatment, anger management, stress management, anxiety & depression, grief & loss, interpersonal relationship issues, and personal development.
My style of treatment includes psychoeducational methods, motivational-interviewing techniques, and cognitive behavioral approaches. I traditionally utilize a blended approach to therapy; exploring each individual's biological, psychological, social and spiritual needs – working alongside to guide and support in the healing process.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started, and look forward to helping you meet your therapeutic goals.

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.
