Experienced clinician offering virtual therapy helping individuals with a multitude of life challenges. I have over 25 years of counseling experience and was one of the first therapists to offer online therapy back in the early 90's at cybertherapy.com (no longer my domain). I believe it's vitally important for you when considering who to work with that you choose someone who has years of experience helping hundreds of individuals with their mental health needs. I look forward to being that clinician for you.
Together we will talk about where you're at in your life and where you'd like to be. We will explore what stands in your way and what you might do to move more towards the things that matter to you. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression or other mental health challenges, I believe that together we can help you find your way forward.
If you're feeling stuck and want to break free from what you're currently struggling with, I am waiting to assist you. Free 15 min consultation and sliding scale fees for those with financial need.

I have a long history of treating a wide variety of mental health issues. Most recently while working as a "generalist" for Kaiser Permanente before I retired, I was seeing the most challenging clients that needed more intensive therapy. These experiences exposed me to a diverse population of clients suffering from everything from anxiety and depression to addictions and relationship issues.

I am an integrative therapist. By this I mean that although I have knowledge of a great many theories; central to all of these is doing what works best for you. I believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship between me and you. I believe humans have the innate ability to heal and grow given the right environment. I try and provide this for my clients.
