I am licensed in Michigan with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence, as well as depression and ADHD. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment that suits their strengths and is tailored to their needs. I believe humor and personal strengths are crucial to the therapy process, and strive to create a compassionate and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. You know your experience best, and I am here to help you in the effort for change. Taking the first step to reach out for therapy can be extremely hard, so I appreciate you taking the chance and look forward to speaking!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
