As a licensed therapist serving West Virginia and Maryland, I bring a decade of dedicated experience supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My clinical expertise centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem. I specialize in supporting individuals struggling with anxiety, panic disorders, PTSD, depression, insomnia, and a range of other psychosocial circumstances.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate and collaborative, designed to help clients develop resilience and meaningful coping strategies. I understand that each person's journey is unique, and I strive to create a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences, heal from past challenges, and build stronger emotional foundations.
Through evidence-based practices, I work alongside clients to develop personalized strategies for managing stress, processing difficult emotions, and cultivating greater self-understanding. Whether you're dealing with communication challenges, working through feelings of guilt and shame, or seeking support in managing life transitions, I'm committed to walking with you toward healing and personal growth.

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.
