Your Journey is Yours to Tell. It is important to me that your voice is heard when telling your truth. I am a firm believer that you are the expert of your own life. We will work together to create a plan based on your identified needs and goals. I am not here to tell you how to move forward, but rather joining you on your journey of re-inventing and re-structuring yourself. I desire to push you out of your comfort zone yet within your safe zone. Your desire to alter your current state of mind will be the driving force through treatment.

I have approximately 10 years of experience in working with individuals, who have experienced traumatic event(s) in their lives, anxiety, depression, sexual and physical abuse, sexually reactive behaviors, crisis response, self-harming behaviors, family relationships, life transitions, and other life changing events or symptoms that may follow.

In working with these life challenges. I use a multitude of approaches determined by your need, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, play therapy, TF-CBT, FST (Family Systems Trauma), and other modalities. You show great strength in seeking support and help, I look forward to traveling through your journey side by side with you.

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.
