- LCSW
I earned my Masters of Science in Psychology in 2011 and my Masters of Social Work in 2014. For the past 12 years I have dedicated my practice to helping those who struggle most with anxiety and trauma-related symptoms to regain control of their lives.
In our work together, we will focus on identifying the areas of your life most impacted and begin your healing journey from there. We will collaborate to uncover your strengths while developing healthy ways to understand and manage your emotions. With a foundation of empathy and unconditional support, I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can explore challenges and grow at your own pace. You don’t have to navigate this process alone—I am here to support you every step of the way.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
