I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker, with 25 years of experience working in the drug and alcohol field and 15 years with individuals with other mental health and life issues. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, and other approaches to help individuals manage and overcome their issues with relationships, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and other issues. The first step to overcoming difficult situations is being willing to openly talk about them and then begin to implement changes. I am here to help you with that process.

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.
