I am currently a LMSW who is licensed in the State of Michigan. I have worked with a wide range of individuals that include both adults and children. I have worked with adults who have been developmentally delayed, mentally ill or substance abusers. I have 23 years of experience in the mental health field. My counseling style is eclectic. I use various treatment approaches depending on the needs of the client. Those approaches include but aren’t limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Person Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.

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.
