As a licensed therapist with over three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate challenges such as depression, social anxiety, communication difficulties, and personal growth.

I offer a compassionate, nuanced approach that addresses a wide range of concerns including family conflicts, life transitions, workplace stress, and personal identity exploration. My therapeutic style is adaptable, meeting each client's unique needs with empathy and professional insight.

Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I provide supportive guidance for individuals struggling with isolation, self-esteem, panic attacks, and interpersonal dynamics. My goal is to help clients develop stronger coping strategies, enhance self-understanding, and create meaningful personal transformation.

I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and belief systems, committed to providing respectful, personalized care that honors each person's individual journey and potential for healing.

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, 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.

I have only been working with Betty for about a month now, but I’m always in a better headspace after my sessions with her. Counseling is a great option if you feel like you have no one to talk to. She always says the right things, a great listener, and she is available after sessions as well if you need to talk.
