EVERYTHING that happened to you, has happened for you!
EVERYTHING you have been through will help you get through!
Everything you need to HEAL is right inside of you!
Do you feel weighed down from life stressors? Have you lost your sense of identity or have a low sense of self-worth? Do you have difficulties communicating and sustaining meaningful relationships? Do you feel lost and confused about who you are? Do you keep making poor decisions that result in the same mistakes over and over again? Are you in need of a guiding light to help you rediscover who you are?
Together we will work on identifying and strengthening positive coping skills that will lead you toward HARMONY and BALANCE in your life. My goal is to meet all clients - where they are - to provide support and encouragement while they determine uniquely individual paths toward meaningful lives. I am a seasoned counselor with expertise in dealing with adolescents, adults, and elders as they address various types of trauma, depression, anxiety, ineffective communication skills, substance addiction, stress management, anger management, and low-self-esteem. I am also able to provide a spiritual approach if that is what you prefer. I make use of psychotherapy approaches that focus on changing problematic behaviors, feelings, and thoughts to help clients identify the root causes and motives behind negative behaviors.

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.
