I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With experience working with adults across diverse backgrounds, I specialize in helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns.
My work focuses on communication challenges, social anxiety, panic disorder, posttraumatic stress, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, workplace issues, chronic pain and illness, phobias, adoption and foster care experiences, and family dynamics. I bring a trauma-informed, client-centered approach to therapy, believing that healing happens in a space of genuine respect and understanding.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your healing 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.
