As a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space for those navigating stress, trauma, identity, and personal growth.
I bring a deep commitment to understanding the unique experiences of all people, including but not limited to LGBTQ+ individuals, people of color, and those facing intersectional challenges. My approach is rooted in people centered, cultural responsiveness, empathy, and strength-based healing. I work collaboratively with clients to explore self-love, communication, social connections, and personal purpose.
My expertise spans a wide range of focus areas, including anxiety, life transitions, relationship dynamics, sexual health, workplace challenges, and multicultural concerns. I'm particularly passionate about supporting individuals through trauma recovery, identity exploration, and building resilient coping strategies.
I believe in honoring each person's individual journey, creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and genuine understanding. Together, we'll work to cultivate meaningful insights and empower your path toward healing and self-discovery.

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.
