Do you or your teen struggle with stress from school or work, trauma, relationship conflict, or the impact of addiction? You're not alone — and support is available. I provide counseling for couples and individuals ages 11 to 75 who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, work-related stress, relationship issues, and substance use.
I'm passionate about helping people create meaningful change so they can move toward a healthier, happier future. I believe that nothing changes if nothing changes — and that mental health is health.
My approach is person-centered and collaborative, blending evidence-based practices and trauma-focused interventions. This means we will go at your pace, and identify and work through goals together. I also ask clients for their preference on structure of sessions and also feedback, whether that be straightforward or a gentler approach.
You deserve to feel safe. You deserve to feel heard. You have the strength to advocate for yourself and make the changes you want in your life. You don’t need to have it all figured out to start—just a willingness to take that first step. I’m here to walk with you.

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.
