I am a licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), as well as a Certified Health and Wellness Coach. I believe each of us is unique with our own perspectives and lifestyles, thus treating each other with the utmost respect, sensitivity, and compassion. It takes courage to seek out therapy to create a more fulfilling and happier life, and you taking these first steps is so commendable. I'm here to support and empower you in that journey. You are the expert of your life, I'm here to help you identify and clarify the areas that are blocking your success, and we will figure out the next steps that are a natural fit for you. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life challenges and life transitions with relationships (family, friends, and professional), including conflicts, trauma, abuse, coping with all aspects of grief, coping with loss: i.e., a loved one, career, and leaving current home to new locations. I have a strong specialization in assisting individuals in increasing self-esteem and confidence, which encompasses symptoms of anxiety, depression, fear of change. I look forward to meeting you exactly where you are at.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

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.
