From the halls of a Geriatric Mental Health Care Facility (where I learned patience, wisdom, and how to outwit a stubborn crossword puzzle) to the fast-paced world of Cerebral Telehealth Counseling (where I mastered the art of virtual therapy and not judging people for their Zoom backgrounds), my career has been anything but boring.

I’ve helped clients navigate life’s twists and turns at PKM Life Transitions, where I became a pro at turning “What now?” into “What’s next?” And now, in my Private Practice, I’m living my dream of helping people like you find their groove—one session at a time.

Think of me as your mental health multitasker: part therapist, part cheerleader, and 100% committed to helping you thrive. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, life changes, or just the general chaos of being human, I’ve got the experience (and the humor) to guide you through it.

👉 [Let’s Team Up!]

P.S. I promise, no therapy clichés like “How does that make you feel?”… unless you’re into that sort of thing. 😊✨

Let’s face it—life is busy, and sometimes getting to therapy feels like just "one more thing" on your to-do list. Enter telehealth therapy: all the benefits of traditional therapy, but with the added bonus of wearing pajama pants. (Don’t worry, I won’t judge your Zoom background—unless it’s too perfect, in which case, I might ask for decorating tips.)  

 Why Telehealth Rocks: 

•  Convenience: Therapy from your couch, your car, or even your closet (we’ve all been there).  
•  Comfort: No traffic, no parking, and yes, you can bring your dog/cat/emotional support plant.  
•  Consistency: Life gets chaotic, but telehealth makes it easier to stick to your sessions.  

The Science Behind the Screen:  

Telehealth isn’t just convenient—it’s effective! Research shows that virtual therapy can be just as impactful as in-person sessions for many mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and stress. Plus, it’s backed by the latest in psychology techniques, like:  

1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):  

•  What it is: A gold-standard approach that helps you identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts.  
•  Why it works: It’s like a mental Marie Kondo—tidying up your thought patterns so you can focus on what truly sparks joy.  
•   Efficacy: Studies show CBT is highly effective for anxiety, depression, and even insomnia.  

2. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):  

•  What it is: A mindfulness-based approach that helps you accept what’s out of your control and commit to actions that align with your values.  
•  Why it works: It’s like a GPS for your life—helping you navigate around emotional traffic jams.  
• Efficacy: Proven to reduce stress, improve emotional resilience, and help with chronic pain.  

3. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT):

• What it is: A future-focused approach that helps you identify and build on your strengths to create quick, practical solutions.  
• Why it works: It’s like a life hack for your problems—short, sweet, and to the point. 
• Efficacy: Great for goal-setting, relationship issues, and boosting motivation.  

4. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR):  

•  What it is: A technique that combines mindfulness meditation and yoga to help you stay present and reduce stress.  
•  Why it works: It’s like a mental reset button—helping you pause, breathe, and refocus.  
• Efficacy: Shown to reduce anxiety, improve focus, and even lower blood pressure.  

   & Many MORE!

 The Bottom Line:

Telehealth therapy is more than just a trend—it’s a flexible, effective way to prioritize your mental health without adding more chaos to your life. And with evidence-based techniques like CBT, ACT, SFBT, and mindfulness, we’ll work together to help you feel better, faster.  

So, grab your laptop, your favorite blanket, and let’s get started. Because therapy shouldn’t be stressful—it should be the highlight of your week (yes, even in pajamas).

P.S. If you’re still skeptical, just think of it as Netflix, but for your brain. 😊✨

Let’s talk money—because even therapists can’t pay rent with good vibes alone. (Trust me, I’ve tried; my landlord was not impressed.) But don’t worry, I’ve got your back (and your wallet) with  sliding scale fees based on your income. Think of it as a “pay-what-you-can” model, because your mental health shouldn’t come with a side of financial panic.  

Here’s the deal:  

****No Insurance Coverage At this time- But coming soon....ish****

- Sliding Scale: Because your wallet deserves therapy too. Whether you’re a CEO or a “just trying to afford avocado toast” kind of person, we’ll find a rate that works for you.  

- Venmo-Friendly: Because mailing checks is so 1995 (and also, who even has stamps anymore?). Plus, you can add a fun emoji to your payment—because why not make budgeting a little more joyful? 🐧🍩✨  

- Transparency: No hidden fees, no surprises—just straightforward pricing that works for you. (And no, I won’t charge you extra for my bad therapist jokes. Those are free.)  

Why This Matters:  

I get it—life can feel heavy, and the idea of adding one more expense (even for something as important as therapy) can feel overwhelming. But here’s the thing: investing in your mental health is like giving yourself a gift that keeps on giving. It’s the emotional equivalent of buying yourself a really good coffee maker instead of spending $5 every day at Starbucks. (Okay, fine, maybe keep the Starbucks too. Balance, right?)  

 The Bigger Picture:  

Therapy isn’t just about venting (though that’s definitely part of it). It’s about learning tools to navigate life’s ups and downs, building resilience, and maybe even laughing at the absurdity of it all. And hey, if you’re feeling stuck or hopeless, that’s exactly why I’m here. Together, we’ll work on turning “I can’t” into “I can” and “what’s the point?” into “what’s next?”  

So, whether you’re rolling in it or just rolling with it, let’s find a rate that fits your budget. Because the only thing that should be sliding in therapy is your stress levels—not your bank account.

P.S. If you’re worried about costs, just remember: therapy is cheaper than buying a lifetime supply of scented candles to “self-soothe”… and way more effective than talking to your houseplants. (Though I fully support your plant-parent journey. 🌱)  

P.P.S. If you’re feeling too depressed to even think about this stuff, that’s okay. Shoot me a message, and we’ll figure it out together. No judgment, no pressure—just support. Because you’re worth it, even on the days when it doesn’t feel like it. 😊✨

Hey you! Yes, you—the one scrolling through your phone at 2 a.m. because your brain won’t shut off, and you’re wondering if you’re the only one who feels this way. Spoiler: You’re not. And that’s exactly why I’m here.

Welcome to my blog, where therapy, counseling, and mental health get real—no jargon, no judgment, just honest insights, expert research, and a whole lot of humor. Because let’s face it, if we’re not laughing at the absurdity of life, we’re probably crying into our overpriced lattes.

Why You’ll Love It:

Relatable AF: I write about the stuff we’re all dealing with—awkward therapy moments, overthinking everything, and why self-care isn’t just bubble baths and scented candles.

Expert-Backed, But Not Boring: I dive into the latest research and expert opinions so you don’t have to. (You’re welcome.) Then I sprinkle in jokes because therapy is better with a side of sarcasm.

No Judgment Zone: Whether you’re thriving or just surviving, this is a space where you can feel seen, heard, and maybe even laugh at yourself a little.
