- LICSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With several years of clinical experience, I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I'm particularly passionate about helping people build self-esteem, improve communication, and cultivate deeper self-compassion.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and centers on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your concerns at your own pace. Whether you're working through past trauma, managing social anxiety, addressing isolation, or learning to forgive—yourself or others—I'm here to support your journey with genuine care and professional expertise.
I believe healing happens when we feel truly heard and respected. I'm committed to meeting you where you are and walking alongside you as you move toward greater peace and connection in your life. If you're ready to take that first step, I'm honored to be part of your healing process.

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.
