- 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, 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.
