I am a professional Social Worker/ Licensed Clinician dedicated to providing a supportive, nurturing, and interactive therapeutic environment. Committed to improving the lives of others through innovative and forward-thinking therapy techniques. I have over 10 plus years of combined experience in outpatient psychiatry and adolescents counseling with a focus on treating bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, and several personality disorders. I am a trauma therapist and access therapeutic techniques in the following areas: trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy (TFCBT), cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), to name a few.

My focus is on the individual's expectations, wants, and needs. All therapy sessions are focused on the client's goals and projected outcomes.

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.
