I am a social worker with experience supporting individuals and families through a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, and low mood. My background includes acute social work in the Women’s and Children’s space, where I have supported pregnant women, new parents, and children navigating complex health and social circumstances. I bring a compassionate, culturally informed approach and believe in meeting people with respect, sensitivity, and genuine care. Together, we will explore what matters most to you and build a plan that feels meaningful and tailored to your unique needs. Reaching out for support takes courage, and I am glad you are here.

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.
