As a seasoned therapist with over two decades of experience in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, personal growth, and interpersonal challenges. My practice centers on helping clients develop deeper self-understanding, improve communication skills, and overcome social anxiety and feelings of isolation.
I am particularly passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community and supporting individuals through significant life changes. My approach is compassionate and affirming, focusing on building self-love, exploring personal purpose, and developing meaningful connections.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, challenge limiting beliefs, and cultivate more fulfilling relationships. Whether you're struggling with social anxiety, seeking personal growth, or working through communication difficulties, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.
My therapeutic style emphasizes collaboration, respect, and personalized strategies that empower you to create positive, lasting change in your life. I believe every individual has inherent strength and the capacity for healing and transformation.

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.
