Hello! I am a licensed Masters level Social Worker, and have 24 years experience providing mental health therapy. I have spent most of my career focussing on trauma, working with suvivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, mlitary service men and women, members of the LGBT community, adolescents, families and couples. I have always looked for opportunities to expand and improve my skills set as a therapist, and have been certified in various treatments. I am certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Recovery, Emplowerment Model (TREM), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Through my eperiences I have found that working with a team aproach, the therapist and client, clients have found the most success in improving their quality of life.

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.
