Located in Japan, I am licensed in South Carolina with 13+ years of professional clinical mental health private practice experience as a clinician. I am a LPCS, LPC, LAC with specializations in Traumatology using EMDR, and am a National Board for Certified Counselors: National Certified CACREP Counselor with NCE/NCC credentials. Additionally I am a NBCC NCMHCE Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CCMHC). In my clinical experience I have assisting clients with various ranges of mental health diagnoses and co-occurring disorders. Here at Better Help.com, I focus on assisting clients to understand underlining motivations and causes of issues, improve connections and self esteem, teach healthy ways of coping with life changes, provide clinical professional coaching, teach clients ways to improve healthy brain body responses situationally. I specialize in women issues, autoimmune disorders, and disorders within developmental psychology.
As a military veteran, military retiree veteran wife and mother I provide inner working knowledge of multiple severities of treatment issues with US military members, children, and families WORLDWIDE. I offer 30-45 minute sessions via BetterHelp.Com. I value treating each client with respect, sensitivity, positive regard, providing empathy (not sympathy), transparency, healthy compassion.
I feel treatment planning is a process involving each clients goals to meet unique specific needs in an integrative out of the box approach.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling, healthier life. You have taken the first steps towards empowering yourself or your response to a situation by searching for mental health clinical treatment. I do not do the changing for you. I will assist you to learn to “Get Up” when you feel knocked down emotionally, “Be Raised Up” in learning new responses for a healthier YOU, and how to learn to take your own steps to “Grow.” I am here to support & empower you in your journey to grow healthy.

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.
