People often come to me when life feels heavier than it should — when anxiety, mood shifts, or the constant pressure to keep up start to feel overwhelming. My goal is to offer a space where you can exhale, feel understood, and begin to make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. With twenty years of experience as a therapist, I blend evidence‑based practices with a deeply human, down‑to‑earth approach that meets you exactly where you are.
I work collaboratively with clients to build practical strategies for managing anxiety, improving emotional regulation, and easing the sense of being overstretched. I’m attuned, compassionate, and focused on helping you reconnect with your strengths, your resilience, and the parts of your life that bring you balance.

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.
