As a licensed therapist in multiple states, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients work through depression, anxiety, stress, and life transitions with compassion and understanding. I'm particularly passionate about addressing communication challenges, family dynamics, and personal growth.
My therapeutic practice focuses on empowering individuals to explore their inner experiences, overcome feelings of guilt and shame, and develop meaningful strategies for healing. I bring a dedicated, culturally responsive approach to supporting clients through diverse challenges, including caregiver stress, addiction recovery, and personal transformation.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and rediscover their sense of purpose. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering genuine support and collaborative guidance as you move toward personal growth and emotional well-being.

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.
