I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked in the mental health field for over 20 years. I graduated from the University of Hawaii with my Masters in Social Work with an emphasis on mental health. I have worked in many different levels of care in the mental health field including outpatient, residential, emergency, inpatient, day treatment, and in-home therapy.
My primary focus is helping people to cope with symptoms of depression and anxiety as well as emotional regulation. Evidence base modalities used in treatment for clients include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to provide psychoeducation, coping skills training, relaxation skills, positive self-talk, and thought challenging.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
