Hello,

I am glad to meet you. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Central Florida with 20 years of professional work experience.

I have experience in helping a variety of clients from young children, adolescent youth, and adults who are experiencing difficulties with issues such as depression, stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem and confidence, and relationships. I also have experience working with individuals who are coping with life changes. I have worked in schools, mental health agencies, and in private practice.

I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused therapy to help my clients. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

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.
