- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over six years of professional work experience as a Clinician. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work and have undergone extensive training in the outpatient setting.
I have worked with clients with a wide range of challenges, most commonly issues pertaining to: depression, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting, career challenges, self- esteem, confidence and trauma. I have experience in utilizing cognitive- behavioral therapy, trauma- focused cognitive behavioral therapy, trust- based relational interventions, parent- child interaction therapy, and motivational interviewing.
I work with clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment! Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process!

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.
