Hello! Thank you for your interest to learn about me and how I might be able to help you. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 36 years of professional clinical counseling experience. Through a variety of clinical practices, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma informed practice and family systems approaches, I have compassionately supported and helped clients address many life concerns. These include working through stress and anxiety, helping those living with chronic and terminal illness, supporting those coping and growing through grief and all kinds of loss, inspiring motivation, improving self esteem, and increasing confidence while facing and overcoming life changes.

I have worked with individuals from childhood to senior adults, assisting them in navigating life challenges and discovering a happy and healthy life filled with more joy and peace.

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.
