- Psychologist
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I work to enhance well-being across multiple areas of life. By creating a respectful, non- judgmental healing environment, I help people connect with who they truly are today, and how they want to be in the future. With these goals in mind, sessions can focus on creating new habits, exploring new perspectives, and using new tools to increase a sense of joy and meaning in life. By the end, I aim to leave people with a personalized road map for finding peace while living their life to the fullest.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
