Hello,

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 7 years of experience in the counseling field. Three of the years I have been in private practice. My specialty is anxiety and depression stemming from trauma. A large part of my practice is dedicated to mother issues. Whether it is an abandonment, lack of, or having been raised by a bipolar/borderline or narcissistic mother you have come to the right therapist.

I believe that each client is unique and their story is important and valued. I use a strength based approach and weave in tools/modalities of therapy to help each client on their journey. I am very down to earth and truly love research. I am always learning and growing for my clients.

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.
