Struggling on ones own to solve a problem can feel daunting and insurmountable. As your therapist, I will work alongside you to bring support, perspective and hope. I have a Christian background that I bring into my work with individuals. I have worked inside jails as well as my private practice office. No matter where you are in life, I believe recovery is possible.
I have over 25 years of experience working with folks and their mental health issues. These issues include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, stress related issues, adjustment disorders and grief and loss. I consider it a privilege to be allowed into a persons vulnerability as we work on their issue.
At some point on our lives, most of us need a non judgmental place to share their deepest emotional issues and be heard. Please allow me to provide this space for you.

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.
