About Talknet Counseling
Professional Counseling, Delivered Where You Are
We believe everyone deserves access to quality mental health care — from the comfort of home, office, or smartphone.
Our Mission
At Talknet Counseling, our licensed therapist brings over 20 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges through compassionate, evidence-based care.
As the wife of a Veteran and a former Veterans Administration and Department of Defense employee and supervisor, she has deep personal and professional experience working with active duty military members, their family members, and retirees — understanding firsthand the unique pressures and transitions that come with military life.
Our therapist is trained in a variety of research-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solutions Focused, Mindfulness, Guided Imagery, and Christian Focused therapy.
We provide individual and family therapy for all ages and children over the age of 10 years. Many of our clients are referred by family or friends who have benefited from our services.
Our goal is to develop a relationship built on trust and a shared focus of treatment, so you can achieve your goals and enjoy life to the fullest!
Military & Veteran Experience
Serving Those Who Served
As a former Veterans Administration and Department of Defense civilian employee and supervisor — and as the proud spouse of a Navy Veteran — I bring both personal and professional insight to the unique challenges of military life.
Having lived and worked in Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida — the heart of military country — I understand the culture, the sacrifices, and the resilience it takes to serve. You deserve a therapist who truly gets it.
