I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and CBT-trained clinician dedicated to providing a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space for clients to feel understood and empowered. I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and individualized, recognizing that each person’s experiences, strengths, and goals are unique. I work alongside clients to better understand their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships while developing practical skills to manage challenges and improve overall well-being.
I specialize in supporting young adults, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals as they work through self-esteem concerns, communication difficulties, isolation, and identity questions. I'm particularly skilled at addressing panic attacks, social anxiety, body image concerns, attachment patterns, and the weight of guilt and shame. I also support clients navigating workplace stress, family conflicts, caregiver responsibilities, and major life transitions.
My approach is grounded in creating a safe, affirming space where you feel truly seen and valued. I believe in meeting you where you are—without judgment—and collaborating with you to explore what's holding you back and what might help you move forward. Whether you're seeking clarity on your life's direction, healing from past hurts, or simply wanting to feel more at peace, I'm here to walk alongside you.
I draw on evidence-based practices to support your growth at your own pace, honoring your unique perspective and experiences. Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm genuinely honored to be part of your journey.

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.
