I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with several years of experience treating and motivating children/adolescents, adults, and families to achieve emotional wellness, acquire clarity, while becoming self-sufficient in various treatment settings. This is done by providing a safe and supportive environment with a solid client/ therapist collaboration. This promotes lasting change & ability to endure inevitable stress and change.

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.
