I graduated with a BA in Sociology/Anthropology and a Minor in French from the University of Redlands. After working with children and families in Illinois and California, I went back to school and earned my Masters in Social Work from Tulane University in New Orleans, LA. I worked as a social worker in Hospice and as a suicide and crisis counselor in Louisiana. I completed a program in the Theory and Practice of Mediation and Theory and Practice of Family Law Mediation. My areas of expertise include assessment, child abuse and neglect, bilingual therapy, family systems, domestic violence, crisis counseling, and suicide prevention. I offer compassionate and insightful therapy for people experiencing a broad range of issues, including LGBTQ+ issues.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, research indicates that online therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the format that works best for them, whether that is video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or messaging. This range of options makes it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments.
All therapists are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists if they feel a different match would be better. Online therapy offers a practical, accessible way to pursue help for a wide range of emotional and relational concerns.
