Thank you for taking the first step toward your healing! Walking with clients on the path toward better wellness is truly an honor. My core values are the growth, honesty, love, curiosity and justice, which all show up in my work with clients. I pride myself in co-creating a safe space for clients to be fully seen, heard, and supported. My approach is inclusive, compassionate, direct, innovative, and non-judgmental, with some humor thrown in the mix. With four years of clinical therapy experience, and two decades of experience in wellness, my philosophy integrates mindfulness, breathwork, and holistic practices.
I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges, processing past trauma, and developing coping skills to build an empowered life. I work with clients navigating trauma/PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, single motherhood, communication skills and life transitions.
I am grateful that you're here, taking the first step towards a more fulfilled life. It would be my pleasure to work with you. I look forward to connecting with you to see if we are a good fit!

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.
