First, let's acknowledge what courage it takes to reach out for help. Any step towards growth, even if it feels small at the time, is monumental.
Counseling works because most of us can benefit from slowing down and examining our lives through a different lens. We often don't have someone in our support network who can sit with us in an honest, compassionate and non-judgmental way to explore the different facets of our current situation. This gentle inquiry into our lives can often illuminate changes we can make or insights that can bring us closer to our desired reality.
For the last ten years, I have counseled individuals through a variety of issues such as addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, difficulties with anger, and parenting dilemmas. I'd be honored to support you through whatever brought you to this website.

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.

Lucy is a safe place to stand for anyone who needs one. She is calm and compassionate but also clear-headed and able to engage problems with a confident demeanor that makes me feel truly hopeful. I’m so glad I found her.
Lucy is great! This is my first time trying out counseling, but it’s been great to have validation that I’m working and doing things in the right direction! I recommend her to all my family.
Lucy is literally my savior in confidence and in my mentions health. Without her I’d be an absolute wreck of a human being. Lucy rocks!
Lucy is amazing. I feel like she really understands me and I really appreciate the way she communicates with me. I feel comfortable discussing anything and everything with her and she always responds with well thought out advice.
Lucy has continuously had my back for severe depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I have disclosed more to her than anyone in my life and I feel entirely comfortable doing so. Anyone who is down I offer BetterHelp and mention how amazing Lucy has been in helping me transition to a healthier life! I feel better, I am more confident, and self assured that I am on a better path to overall life balance and mental stability.
Lucy is amazing.
Lucy is amazing. She is so easy to talk to. Within the first few session I felt like I had known her for years. She makes me feel comfortable and that allows me to speak honestly without feeling guarded. She hears you and offers well thought out advice and offers much needed support.
Helpful, kind, patient, empathetic, wonderful listener
I am a visual person so watching Lucy react to what I was sharing really made me feel like she was empathizing with me instead of just listening. Great support and advice.
Lucy feels like a best friend. She’s someone I can trust and believe in, who also believes in me. It’s so nice to have this blanket of comfort and tough love (when I need it per my request). I literally have been thru therapy and other methods for years, I’ve never seen results or felt them better than I have now with Lucy. She was my first match too! I look forward to feeling better and being better with this awesome support.
She is a breath of fresh air and I feel heard. So glad I switched to this platform. She is a great listener and I feel validated. 10 outta 10!
