- LMSW
I am licensed in Michigan with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence, as well as depression and ADHD. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment that suits their strengths and is tailored to their needs. I believe humor and personal strengths are crucial to the therapy process, and strive to create a compassionate and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. You know your experience best, and I am here to help you in the effort for change. Taking the first step to reach out for therapy can be extremely hard, so I appreciate you taking the chance and look forward to speaking!

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.
