I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 + years of experience as a mental health provider. I hold multiple degrees; including a Bachelor's degree in Political Science; a Master's degree with a concentration in Secondary School Counseling and Counseling Psychology and a Master's degree in Healthcare Administration. I have provided treatment in community outpatient locations; psychiatric hospitals; residential treatment facilities and elementary; middle & high school settings. These opportunities have contributed to my extensive understanding; belief; and practice associated with psychotherapy. I work from a strength-based perspective; encouraging self-compassion and positive self-regard. I believe in establishing a positive working relationship with patients in order to create a healthy therapeutic rapport. Treatment modalities include; psychodynamic theory; family systems theory and cognitive behavioral therapy. I'm also a Christian who often finds it helpful to incorporate biblical principles in a practical manner. This faith- based treatment assists in completing a holistic approach of addressing mind; body & spirit.

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.
