- LPC
As a licensed therapist with nearly three decades of professional experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex family dynamics and emotional regulation challenges. My approach centers on compassionate, evidence-based strategies that help clients develop healthier communication patterns and emotional resilience.
I have extensive expertise in parenting support and anger management, drawing from years of clinical practice to provide nuanced, personalized guidance. My therapeutic style is grounded in understanding each client's unique experiences and empowering them to develop practical skills for navigating life's challenges.
My commitment is to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their concerns, build self-awareness, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. I approach each therapeutic relationship with respect, empathy, and a deep dedication to helping individuals transform their emotional landscapes.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
