Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I believe some of the most meaningful work we do in therapy is simply having a place where we can be honest about what’s going on in our lives.
I’ve experienced my own share of life changes and transitions, including navigating career changes, new chapters, and the many ways life can turn out differently than we expected. Those experiences have shaped the way I approach therapy. I’m warm, down-to-earth, and genuinely curious about people. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I won’t tell you how you should feel or what you should do.
Instead, I’ll listen, ask thoughtful questions, help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, and work with you to find practical ways forward. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, navigating a transition, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
My goal is for you to feel comfortable being yourself, understood without judgment, and supported as you work toward the life you want.

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.
