- LMFT
I am a marriage and family therapist with over 20 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life changes, relationships issues, career challenges, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy and family of origin work. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to step forward and try to change your life. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

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.
