I started my career in Nursing working in Oncology and later in a Neuro-Trauma Unit. I enjoyed my interactions with all of my patients and decided to change my major to clinical social work. Since starting in this field, I have specialized in treating Addictions as well as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Dissociative Disorder. I am competent in the areas of Depression, Anxiety Disorders and stress related to Grief and Life Stressors. I am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). I consider it an honor and privilege to work with people asking for help, seeking clarity or just need some assistance sorting things out. I am profoundly touched by the people who put their trust in me to guide them in their healing journey.

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.
