- LMHC
I'm a therapist with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients across the lifespan, helping them navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and the stress that comes with major life transitions.
My approach is grounded in understanding the whole person—your relationships, your past, and what matters most to you. I specialize in helping clients work through communication difficulties, isolation, grief, shame, and the complex emotions tied to abandonment, attachment, and codependency. I also support those facing workplace stress, financial concerns, domestic violence, and questions about life purpose and meaning.
Whether you're processing trauma, managing panic, grieving a loss, or working toward forgiveness and healing, I'm here to help you build resilience and move forward. I draw on evidence-based practices tailored to your unique needs and pace.
Taking that 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.
