I am a Christian LCSW and a certified Mental Health Coach. I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complex emotions of grief and loss, whether its the death of a loved one, a loss of health, a relationship or other significant life transitions. My approach is centered around gaining a deep understanding of your unique experience and building a strong, supportive relationship to help you process your thoughts and emotions and find healing.
With 15+ years of experience in the mental health field, I have worked with individuals and families experiencing various forms of loss. I am passionate about providing a safe space where clients can explore their grief while being seen, heard, supported and validated in their journey. I am knowledgeable in utilizing person-centered therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
If you're struggling with any kind of loss, I'm here to walk alongside you. You are not alone. Together we can explore your feelings, examine the grief process, and help you take steps toward a renewed hope and healing. If you request, I am also able to incorporate Christian values, Scripture and prayer into your plan of care and our time together. Reach out today! I would be honored to support and guide you in and through your time of grief and loss. There IS HOPE on the horizon!

About online counseling

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.
