- LCSW
I have been a social worker/helper at heart since childhood and have worked in the field of behavioral health for well over 20 years. I am passionate about helping others and that has been the focus of my life. I feel fortunate to be a part of the personal growth, renewal and emotional healing in my clients.
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Science from Western International University in May 2000 and earned my Master of Social Work from Arizona State University in May 2003. I am independently licensed by the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners.
I was raised in Arizona and have called Tucson my home since 2000. I live with my wonderful husband and two English Springer Spaniels.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
