As a licensed therapist with over four decades of clinical experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on addressing challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders, and suicide prevention with a compassionate approach rooted in understanding and healing.
I offer a supportive therapeutic environment that honors individual experiences, particularly for those seeking guidance through social anxiety, isolation, attachment challenges, and personal growth. My approach is deeply respectful of personal beliefs and values, with a commitment to helping clients develop healthier communication patterns and emotional resilience.
Drawing from extensive clinical expertise, I work collaboratively with clients to explore underlying emotional patterns, develop coping strategies, and support meaningful personal transformation. Whether you're struggling with panic attacks, guilt, shame, or seeking pathways to forgiveness, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

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.
