More about Edna

  • Female
  • LMHC

What would it feel like to be heard, to know that you are valued and cared about and to believe that there is real hope for your future? Are you struggling, anxious, grieving, overwhelmed? You are not alone. Life is really hard right now. You deserve self care and support. Difficult and painful experiences can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. I offer you a safe place to talk about and explore all those concerns.

Together we will identify specific issues and needs to establish achievable goals. Working collaboratively throughout the counseling and coaching process, we will continuously evaluate your progress as you become stronger and more confident in all of your life decisions.

From me you can expect warmth, empathy, humor and the use of practical tools that you can start applying right away. I will bring to every session an earnest desire to facilitate your growth and healing and will walk alongside you so that you never feel alone.

I work with individual clients and couples from all walks of life. I have more than 18 years of counseling experience specializing in depression, anxiety, trauma recovery, grief and loss and lifestyle adjustments. Most recently I have been serving military families and first responders. I applaud you for taking this first step toward wellness. Please feel free to contact me today!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

When I have a session with Edna I am treated with respect & compassion. She is honest and genuine. Edna always has suggestions that will help me too and the session is like talking to a very wise friend.

What I find best about Edna is her ability to meet a person where they are at. Whatever subject I am interested in bringing up and whatever emotional state I am in, she's able to meet me there and effectively communicate with me. I think it's a valuable skill she has developed over long practice and I am grateful to get the benefits of it.

She is the first therapist to actually try and help me with my issues and not just give me paperwork on how to deal with distress. I am grateful to have her since I feel genuinely listened to. I also appreciate that she laughs along with me when I make jokes and doesn't just look at me like I'm crazy for laughing about my problems. Overall, I just appreciate her as a person and resource.
