- LISW, LCSW
I am licensed in Iowa and California. I have 9 years of professional work experience in mental health. In addition, I have extensive experience working in hospice and long term care. I have helped clients with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief and loss. I am certified in EMDR. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I am very laid back and easy to talk to. Please be aware that I do not write ESA (Emotional Support Animals) letters fpr clients.

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.
