I am an empathic therapist with many years of experience working with children, families, and individuals struggling with issues of Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Attention Deficit, Autism Spectrum, among others. I strive to be both compassionate and empathic while helping the client along their journey of healing. I am able to use a variety of clinical approaches which the client can select according to their own comfort level from medical model to solution focused, to spiritual or Christian counseling, to holistic and energy work, along with traditional models of Cognitive Behavioral Methods and Narrative Therapies. I can adapt and modify any or all of these modalities according to the best response and comfort level of the client. I rely on quick thinking and a sense of humor and engage clients with genuine concern for their well-being. I received my MSW education from Grand Valley State University and my degree in Family Life Education from Spring Arbor College. I have obtained additional certifications as a trauma specialist, a Reiki practitioner, an Advanced Clinical Heart-Centered Hypnotherapist, and I am certified to lead seminars in Intensive Personal Life Transformation. I look forward to working with you as you travel your journey.

Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience, working as a social worker or life coach. I have worked with various populations on a wide range of issues like anxiety, depression, life changes, grief, illnesses, caregiver stress, aging, and family challenges. My therapeutic approach is a combination of cognitive behavioral, motivational, problem-solving, and supportive counseling. I like to create a safe and warm environment where you can freely share your concerns. I help you work on your goals in a manner that is most beneficial for your type of issue and that fits your personality and style. Are we a good fit? I work with women who reside in California and are dealing with life stressors, mild anxiety or depression, health related concerns, caregiver stress, grief, and other life challenges. While I work with women from all backgrounds, I have a particular understanding of the Orthodox Jewish religion, which may be helpful for Torah observant clients. If it sounds like we may be a good fit, feel free to reach out. My goal is to empower you with the tools you need to navigate life's ups and downs--long after therapy. I look forward to helping you!

Hi Everybody ! BH is terrific and I am so pleased that you have found the courage to ask for help here :) I am a Clinician licensed in the States of Texas and Washington with over 18 years of experience. I work in private practice with individuals and couples who are struggling with a broad range of concerns, including anxiety-related disorders, clinical depression, PTSD as well as Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. I also have extensive experience working with children and their families. I have broad experience with a large variety of populations, including Veterans and Trauma survivors. Since I worked as a medical social worker for a significant number of years - I have also worked with women and men struggling with cancer and chronic pain - as well as the rare diseases: infantile nephropathic cystinosis, intermediate cystinosis and non- nephropathic cystinosis. I have experience with Huntington's disease as well. Additionally, I enjoy helping clients who suffer with infertility-related problems. This was a personal journey close to my heart that also led me to want to help women who are struggling to have a baby and those who have suffered a miscarriage or a stillbirth. My counseling approach is warm and interactive. My clinical approach consists of multiple theoretical backgrounds. A few include : humanistic, dialectical behavior counseling, mindfulness, acceptance therapy, cognitive-behavioral counseling and counseling aimed at helping those to resolve trauma. The only time that I would incorporate psychoanalytic counseling would be to help the client to understand how the past could be contributing to her or his present circumstances. I do not consider stigmatizing labels to be beneficial in the helping process. When I am not working in the field of counseling - I work at my fundraising business to help women get their lives put back together following assault or domestic violence. I also volunteer for an organization that helps to stop domestic minor sex-trafficking. It takes determination to seek a more rewarding and happier life. If you are ready to take steps toward change then I will be with you to support and to empower you ! I am pleased that you are here at Betterhelp.
