Hi, I’m Trisha! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as yourself, feel heard, and talk openly without fear of judgment.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may be dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship or family challenges, low self-esteem, major life changes, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what to do next. Whatever brings you to therapy, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
My therapeutic style is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I take the time to understand you as an individual and tailor our work together to your needs, experiences, strengths, and goals. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Instead, we’ll work together to identify what is getting in the way, develop practical coping strategies, build on your strengths, and create meaningful changes in your life.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families and supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family concerns, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, and behavioral concerns. I also have experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, including individuals with autism.
Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable being yourself in our sessions. Therapy is your space, and we will move at a pace that feels right for you.
If you’re ready to begin working toward greater emotional well-being, healthier relationships, and a better understanding of yourself, I would be honored to support you on that 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.
