It is great to meet you!
I am an LCSW and have enjoyed working in my field for 27 years. Everyone benefits from a safe place to talk. I enjoy making my clients feel comfortable and welcome, whether we are meeting virtually or in-person. I work with adults affected by serious illness, stress, grief or loss, anxiety, depression, and those adjusting to big changes in life.
I enjoy making clients feel safe & welcome. I work with adults affected by stress, illness, grief & loss, mood issues, adjustment to change, and other issues. I use a “client-centered” approach, which means I believe that you are the expert of your own life. We work together to identify goals you would like to work on, develop coping tools, and plan and prepare for the future.
As we develop and practice new skills, we will use different techniques to develop tools that work best for you. I really enjoy customizing tools to fit each unique individual & will often include strategies from CBT, DBT, ACT, Mindfulness, and Neuroscience in our work. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
