As a counselor, I believe that how we think directly impacts our feelings and determines our behaviors. My practice approach is a blend of REBT with CBT. I utilize those evidenced-based approaches to empower you in taking steps towards emotional wholeness. I have over 18 years of experience in working with teens, couples, adults, families, groups, and schools. I can help you with anxiety, cross-cultural issues, self-esteem, emotional disturbance, communication, codependency, life transitions, relationship struggles, blended family issues, ARD meetings, and more. As you journey through life's uncertainties, my personal mission is to create a safe space for you to work on building trust and accomplishing goals. To get a sense of where you are in life I will provide you with intentional time, listen to understand your point of view, and offer reassurances when necessary. I truly believe that such a caring relationship can help you decide if I am a good fit and how I can be of best help.
** On your journey towards healing and lasting change, I can also offer guidance from my lifetime of personal experiences: culturally-diverse marriage 17+ years, natural remedies, parenting, homeschooling. **

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.
