I started meeting online with Dr Izzard through this platform in September 2020. At that time I felt stuck in a rut and like I wasn’t moving forward in my life and didn’t know how to get out of that place or those thought processes. From my very first session with Dr Izzy, I knew I had struck gold! I’m normally an upbeat and encouraging person for others but this time needed someone who was going to be in my corner - someone to be my cheerleader - and she was exactly that! Every session she was positive and gave me new tools to work on or practice in order to get my thinking in line with all the possibilities and potential that was ahead of me in my life. My thinking started changing pretty quickly and I started to see some real positive changes manifest in my life within 2 months - and I just couldn’t believe it! It’s now been 6 months and though I would love to keep going with Dr Izzy as a friend and mentor, it’s clear to both of us that there’s no longer a need for that and that her time would be better spent helping someone else on their journey who may have been where I was 6 months ago - because I’m certainly no longer there now! Honestly, my weekly sessions with Dr Izzy was the best investment I made in 2020 and it was worth every cent to have such healthy mindsets now. I’m so grateful for our time together and would highly recommend Dr Izzy to anyone looking for a cheerleader, some practical tools and some real faith-based encouragement. Thank you Dr Izzy for everything and I wish you all the best in your future endeavours!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Approved Clinical Supervisor, Counselor Leader, and Servant Leader, with a variety of counseling experience. I also have a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, drug addiction, drug recovery, relationship issues, anger issues, self-esteem, trauma, career challenges, and developing life direction. I also have helped many people who have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and emotional abuse. I have worked with the US Veterans for more than 6 years and have a passion for working with the Military population.

My counseling style is empathic and engaging. I believe in treating anyone with a desire to change, learn, and grow. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, existentialism, choice theory, psychodynamic, reality therapy, and spirituality depending on client need. I will tailor my approach with your treatment goals to meet your unique and specific needs.

If you are ready to be empowered and live a victorious life I am here to help.

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.

I came to Dr. Izzard feeling lost and looking for guidance and strategies for overcoming the hurdles I was up against in life and she was immensely helpful in doing just what I needed! From the first session, I felt I had been paired with just the right counselor and we got to work right away on worksheets and discussions around boundaries, values, affirmations, positive thoughts, and more to equip me with the tools I need to find my way and dispel the distractions and negativity bogging me down. I am so grateful for the help I received!!

It was an absolute pleasure being able to connect with Dr. Izzard over a period of a few months as I was dealing with a great deal of stress, anxiety and depression as a result of both my work and home environment. Dr. Izzard led a very open and honest dialogue with me to generate ideas and actions that I could put into practice immediately to improve my overall situation. Our weekly sessions were extremely productive and I would highly recommend Dr. Izzard to anyone looking to make continual self improvements like I am/was. Thank you Dr. I!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Izzard. She shared tools with me that continually have proven to help me process and overcome anxiety, self-doubt and lack of confidence.

Dr. Izzard brought me on a journey from A to Z. When I started working with her, I had a lot of anxiety around the future; around my career, my growth, and whether the actions I was about to take aligned with my goals and my foundation in God. Through a combination of weekly introspection, personal time with God to deepen my spirituality and communion with Him, and useful tools and techniques to routinize the process of re-centering myself, Dr. Izzard helped me see the bigger picture of my life and the plans that God has for me. She always brought inspirational stories to the table, which enabled me to see my current situation from a higher, wider angle. So much so that I was able to get my anxiety under control within the first few weeks of working with her. Soon enough, I started to experience a sense of relief and "letting go" of the things that were causing me pain and uncertainty. She helped me re-ground myself in God, and gave me tools to navigate through the ups and the downs with faith that everything will ultimately be alright. Dr. Izzard is prompt, quick to follow up, compassionate, and kind. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks so much for your patience and help, Dr. Izzard!
