I provide social and psychological services to at-risk adults, adolescents, and children. I have a Bachelor's degree in Social Work and a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor I am trained as a Certified Forensic Mental Health Evaluator. I am also trained Certified Correctional Health Professional and a Certified Addiction Professional. I started my career as working with youth at risk. I also have extensive experience working with Law Enforcement, Mental Health Court, Psychiatrists, and Corrections Officers, inmates and their families. I specialize in treating individuals with Anxiety and Depression, Bipolar, Trauma/PTSD from Sexual or Physical abuse, as well as Behavior issues,emotional abuse and anger management . A majority of my career has been spent working with dual diagnosis clients, and individuals suffering from severe mental illness. I believe that early intervention can help transform children and their parents into empowered families and individuals. I utilize a mixture of the cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, strengths-based, and postmodern theoretical approaches that assist individuals in consciously deciding what to focus on and not allow unwanted or intrusive thoughts in. These modalities also help a client to envision a future and acquire the coping mechanisms and skills to achieve the goals he/she desires.

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.
