I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients across the lifespan, specializing in trauma, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and life transitions.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and a deep commitment to understanding each person's unique story. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore difficult emotions, heal from past experiences, and build healthier patterns in your relationships and life.
I have particular expertise in trauma recovery, stress and anxiety management, communication challenges, and parenting concerns. I also work with clients navigating major life changes—including pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, divorce, midlife transitions, and family restructuring. Whether you're struggling with panic, grief, attachment patterns, or questions about identity and belonging, I'm here to support your healing journey.
My style is collaborative and compassionate. I believe in meeting you where you are and working at a pace that feels right for you. I'm honored by the trust you place in me and committed to walking alongside you as you move toward greater peace and resilience.

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.
