- LMFT
I am a licensed MFT with a second Master's in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. My orientation is primarily Psychodynamic, i.e., I facilitate a collaborative relationship with clients in order to identify significant issues and how to move forward. I believe that everyone wants to live their best life and my job is to help individuals function at an optimal level.
I have worked with Veterans, substance abuse, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, and trauma. I have been working in the field for 20 years and I have been a Clinical Director for several programs. I have also worked with the criminal justice population, and have managed programs in two county jails. I also specialize in family therapy and couples, and also LBGTQ clients.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
