My Expert Service
|
|
I offer caring, compassionate therapy while still being direct and to the point, as necessary, to better help you. I am open to both traditional and alternative approaches. I personally know the pain and angst of depression as well as the debilitating effects of anxiety. You are not "crazy." Your feelings and experiences are very real! That is why I've entered this field--I know how terrifying and consuming it can be and I am committed to helping people overcome it. I have incorporated many cognitive and behavioral skills that work in my own life and I am genuinely happy and excited to share them with others. There are some in the mental health field who believe it isn’t a good idea for a therapist to be open about personal struggles like this, but I guess I’m a little unconventional that way—I think it makes me more human and in no way diminishes my skills and abilities to better help my clients. I want you to know that I genuinely care. I purposely offer low cost services so that those who might not otherwise be able to afford help are able to. Please know that you are not alone.

Experience & Qualifications
|
I have worked in various areas in this field. My passion is in helping people overcome depression and anxiety through therapy, stress management, affirmations, cognitive-behavioral approaches, taking care of yourself and your own self esteem, validation, setting boundaries, etc. I also work with interpersonal and relationship issues, parenting issues, stress management, etc.
I have facilitated individual and group sessions in various areas from parenting classes to therapy for those dealing with depression, anxiety, OCD, Borderline Personality Disorder, relationship issues, job issues, marriage issues, and more. I have worked in different settings from individual counseling to marriage counseling and from group therapy to intensive outpatient therapy for those who have been hospitalized with suicidal ideation and attempts.
Some professionals have some reservations about online therapy. Here’s my take on it--while there are some aspects of in-person therapy that you can’t really get online, I believe that online therapy is a fantastic and creative way to help people who are struggling reach out for help in a way that might be more comfortable for them. I’m very grateful that in today’s day and age, we have such a service at our fingertips.
Different things affect people differently, but know that whatever is affecting you, while trivial to some, is very real to you, and therefore, very real to me.
