What do you love about working with clients?
I love helping people grow into someone they are happy to see when they look in the mirror and can tell themselves: "Today is going to be a good day because I am going to make it a good day."
Which diagnoses are you skilled at treating?
Most of my experience is treating people with addiction including but not limited to porn addiction, drug addiction, gambling addiction, gaming, and social media addiction. I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, ADHD, grief, and sex/relationship issues.
Which client populations do you treat?
I work mostly with adults but I am willing to see someone as young as 15 or 16 years old. I also work with anyone from any faith or culture; my therapeutic methods are not faith-based.
What is your approach to therapy?
I am a client-centered therapist. The best way for me to explain this is by using a driving metaphor. If we are in a car together, you are the driver and I am the passenger. As the driver, you control where you go because you have to live with your decisions. I, as the passenger, will help you navigate your journey by providing alternate choices, exploring choices, witnessing your grief, providing unconditional positive regard, etc. And at times, I will challenge you but at the end of the day, I am here to support you in your journey.
Why did you become a therapist?
I became a therapist because I have lost too many people to suicide and addiction. Loosing one person to either is too much. I have seen and experienced the devastation of learning to live without those loved ones. I want to provide others with the tools to cope with any issue they face because not everyone has the tools or the support system that I was fortunate enough to have.

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.
