I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Over the past decade, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, and anger management concerns.
My approach is grounded in compassion and collaboration. I believe in creating a safe, affirming space where you feel truly heard and respected. I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you gain insight, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace.
I'm committed to honoring each client's unique identity, background, and lived experience. My goal is to walk alongside you with genuine care and support as you work through what brought you here.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to be part of your journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
