I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Over my career, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, family conflicts, and trauma. I bring a compassionate, grounded approach to therapy—one that honors your unique story and circumstances.
I specialize in helping people process difficult emotions and experiences, rebuild resilience, and strengthen their relationships. Whether you're facing overwhelming stress, working through past trauma, or navigating family dynamics, I'm here to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what's weighing on you.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and person-centered. I believe healing happens when you feel truly heard and supported. I draw on evidence-based practices to help you gain insight, develop coping skills, and move forward at your own pace.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward greater peace and wellbeing.

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.
