I am skilled in supportive therapy, a family systems model and a 12 step model. I have worked with and continue to work with clients who have a wide range of issues and my areas of expertise are working with chronic depression and anxiety, substance abuse and fertility issues.
I have become quite interested in the affected families of aging individuals and those those with health issues. Nevertheless, I still very much enjoy working with the families of young children and utilizing behavioral modalities to help them cope with raising their children.
I am skilled at working with clients of all sexual orientations,identifications and lifetyles
I generally meet with clients weekly or biweekly depending on the stage of therapy
I begin by collecting a brief history of the problems and any other relevant information as it is very important to know why is one seeking help in this trying time.
I attempt to form an alliance with whoever is in the room to create a space that will make everyone feel comfortable and able to share.
Goal setting is important as well and that is addressed and assessed periodically.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is the flexibility it offers – you can connect in the format that fits your life, whether that is a video call, a phone session, a live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety can make it easier to attend sessions consistently and integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
