If you are feeling stuck in your relationship, career, family role, or struggling with a life transition and are unsure of how to move forward, I can help. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where we can work together to explore your emotions, experiences, and challenges and help you on your journey toward finding personal fulfillment. I use a person centered approach where I integrate Strengths Based, Mindfulness, and CBT techniques that are tailored to your specific needs. I have experience working with individuals and families from a range of backgrounds having trouble adjusting to challenges.
I specialize in helping individuals manage life & relationship challenges, working with trauma survivors to overcome experiences, addressing issues related to maternal wellness, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, self-esteem, and coaching parents on managing difficult behaviors in young children.
I also enjoy working with college students and young adults as they navigate their journeys in relationships and finding their place in their careers. I look forward to getting to know you and working together to support your individual needs.

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.

She makes me feel comfortable opening up to her and to me that’s the most important part
Bonnie has been very helpful and gives practical advice.
I signed up for this service when I was going through a personal crisis and really needed to talk to someone who wouldn’t judge me and would listen and be supportive. I love how I can just text whatever I’m feeling and what my worries are and I know that I’ll get an answer back. The messages don’t always come back right away, but it isn’t a long wait and when I don’t get a reply it’s very thoughtful and reassuring. Bonnie gives me things to consider and ask myself that help me stay positive and learn from my current situation and move on. It’s been so incredibly helpful and made a huge difference in lessening my anxiety.
Bonnie has been really helpful in understanding my concerns/issues and in working through them.
Bonnie is professional, helpful, insightful, and has a great demeanor as a therapist. I highly recommend her.
Bonnie is great. She listens well and has a positive attitude. Bonnie gave some good advice and tools that I can use.
Bonnie is great and very empathetic.
Really kind and really listens and understands to what you need and provides feasible solutions to all my problems.
So grateful for BetterHelp and Bonnie. It has provided me and my boys on-the-go help with flexible scheduling for us. We couldn't get a therapist because we would have to miss school and work.
Bonnie is great. After matching with a couple different counselors, I finally found her, and I'm so glad I did. She helped me so much while I was wading through the waters of an impending breakup with a long term live-in boyfriend. She listens well, asks great questions, and has helped me to see my own situation more clearly. She is also responsive, and usually gets back to me within 24 hours, even when I write her a novel's worth of text. Thank you!
