- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Board Certified in Neurofeedback. She offers psychotherapy services in her practice Wings of Change located in Naples, FL. I bring more than 20 years’ experience to my practice. Due to COVID-19 I am offering my services through telehealth. Please visit Wings of Change website:

Going to a strange office (even virtually!) and talking about your most personal issues with someone you’ve never met, can be a difficult, sensitive task. I appreciate that people experience problems and challenges in their life. My approach with clients is to work to help them feel comfortable, respected and hopeful about their situation.
Depending upon the problem or challenge, I utilize best practice strategies to help clients find solutions to their problems and build a path to success. That may take the form of cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, structured sensory trauma focused therapy, relational therapy, and learning strategies to overcome overwhelming emotions.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.
