In a nutshell,
I am compassionate, open-minded, straightforward & genuine. My sense of humor and often nonconformist approach to life

outcomes can be quite amazing!

Even Better to Ask Yourself:
WHY NOT NOW?
"Nothing changes...if nothing changes"
There is just no way around it...
if you want to improve your life, you must have the
COURAGE TO TAKE CALCULATED RISKS.

Online Counseling, Video
&
Virtual Therapy
In a 21st-century digital world, virtual therapy is becoming the "new normal" when it comes to counseling. The great thing about online therapy is that it allows for more flexible and in the moment scheduling options. If you are a visual learner you can schedule a video session or if you are more of an auditory learner you can schedule a phone session. Virtual therapy is an effective alternative mode of counseling.
