Do you feel that the ups and downs of life are getting more difficult to handle? Maybe you sometimes feel that you can handle these challenges but you are looking for someone to talk things out with? I have experience working with children, teenagers and adults with all sorts of struggles that include anxiety, depression and relationship problems. I also have extensive experience working with clients that are dealing with premarital, marital or parenting issues. As the very nature of therapy is a collaborative one, I work alongside the client to create a therapeutic process that is centered around the client for optimal growth.
I focus on relationship building and communication skills using cognitive behavioral therapy for strengthening coping skills as well as incorporating a psycho-dynamic element to the therapy experience.
Starting or re-starting therapy can be emotionally draining or even painful, but you have already started that process by looking for a therapist that is a good fit for you. If you would like to continue that process in a safe and non-judgmental environment, please reach out and schedule an appointment at your own convenience.

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.
