More about Bonnie

  • 30 years' experience

As a licensed therapist (LCSW) in California with three decades of professional experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice focuses on addressing trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and mood-related concerns with a direct, honest, compassionate, faith-informed approach.

I offer dedicated support for diverse populations, including veterans, caregivers, older adults, and individuals navigating significant life transitions. My therapeutic approach integrates tried and true evidence-based techniques to help clients develop resilience, hope, self-understanding, healing, and meaningful coping strategies.

With expertise in areas such as posttraumatic stress, mood & anxiety related disorders, and life purpose exploration, I create a safe and supportive environment where clients can heal, grow, and rediscover their inner strength. My commitment is to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance as you navigate your individual and unique journey.

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.
