I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Over the years, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and trauma. I'm particularly passionate about helping people rebuild self-esteem, find their life purpose, and cultivate genuine self-love.
My approach centers on creating a safe, compassionate space where you can explore what's weighing on you—whether that's communication struggles, social anxiety, guilt and shame, or the pain of divorce and separation. I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you process trauma, work through forgiveness, and develop healthier patterns in your relationships and with yourself.
I'm honored to work with clients of all backgrounds and am especially welcoming to those seeking a therapist who understands Christian values and perspectives. I also have meaningful experience supporting children, adolescents, young and older adults through life transitions and emotional challenges.
My goal is to walk alongside you with genuine care and respect, helping you move toward healing and meaningful change at your own pace. I believe in meeting you where you are and supporting your journey with honesty, warmth, and commitment to your wellbeing.

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.
