About me, “I’m fortunate to have a career that is invigorating, challenging, rewarding—most importantly, person-centered that, “I Absolutely Adore!”.
My beliefs around selecting the right therapist is crucial—one whom you can trust, establish rapport easily and disclose your inner most thoughts /dreams / goals/ success and/or challenges—which includes values and conflicts…which includes identity issues, i.e. LGBTQI . Often, these areas can create the greatest challenges due to the need to separate our beliefs from others as it relates to life /love/happiness/success/employment/health and relationships.
My goal is to listen intently, and provide eclectic—yet integrated, person-centered therapy that incorporates a myriad of solution-focused, motivational, holistic, goal oriented, some spiritually based techniques—that is eclectic. Depending on your needs/goals, we can explore prior therapy experiences, success and obstacles and create a new tool box of resources, coping or survival skills– moving forward.

Many people wonder whether virtual counseling can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating significant life changes, research and practice indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care for most individuals.
The flexibility of online sessions is a major benefit – clients may choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging according to what feels most comfortable and fits their schedule. This adaptability often makes it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, or other obligations.
