As a dedicated therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges. My approach centers on helping clients develop resilience, improve communication, and find meaningful pathways through stress, relationship dynamics, and personal transitions.
I bring a compassionate, faith-informed perspective to my work, with expertise in addressing anxiety, trauma recovery, life changes, and interpersonal dynamics. My practice focuses on empowering individuals to explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and cultivate stronger emotional well-being.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I support clients through diverse challenges including workplace stress, relationship difficulties, family dynamics, and personal growth. Whether you're experiencing transitions, struggling with self-image, or seeking greater understanding of your life's purpose, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and holistic, honoring each person's unique journey and inherent strengths. I aim to create a supportive environment where you can explore your experiences, develop effective coping strategies, and move toward greater personal fulfillment.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
