About

I am trained in Marriage and Family Therapy and have served as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor for over 25 years. I have served in both public and private mental health agencies, primarily for those seeking help with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, addiction and domestic violence.
Any client who has the courage to seek counseling is someone worth celebrating. With gentleness and warmth, I try to focus on each of my client’s strengths to help them in the area they desire to change. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotional Focused Therapy, Systemic Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy as appropriate. I will tailor my dialog and treatment plan to meet the client’s concerns. Each client’s faith and moral values are recognized as a foundation for their desired growth. I look forward to meeting you.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether remote counseling can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or coping with life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the communication method that best fits their schedule and comfort level, whether that is video conversations, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life or to continue care when in-person visits are difficult.

Therapy delivered remotely is provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and individuals are free to change therapists if they decide a different fit would be helpful. For many people, online sessions offer a practical and effective way to address everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
