- LCSW
As a licensed clinical social worker with over 22 years of experience, I have the education and training to provide the necessary skills and support to help assist you in achieving your goals.
From my experience working with young adults and their parent/s as a youth counselor in a residential treatment center, being employed as a social worker in a community mental health center and spending 13 years working with students and families in 7-12 grade school.
Currently I am the owner/operator of my own business providing individual, couples, group and family counseling as well as webinars and trainings.
I have learned that every person has their own strengths that are unique to them. It is these strengths, once identified, that will help you achieve and reach your goals.
If you don't know what your goals are, that's O.K. We will figure them out together as we address your concerns, all the while moving towards your objectives.

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.
