I'm a therapist with nearly a decade of experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients across diverse backgrounds and belief systems, and I'm committed to creating a therapeutic space that honors who you are and where you come from.
My clinical expertise includes depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress-related concerns. I also specialize in helping clients navigate self-esteem, life transitions, social anxiety, panic disorder, and posttraumatic stress. I work with issues around guilt, shame, control, and impulsivity—recognizing that these often intersect with deeper patterns in how we relate to ourselves and others.
I bring a person-centered, culturally responsive approach to therapy. I believe in meeting you where you are, without judgment, and collaborating with you to build skills and insights that support meaningful change. Whether you're working through communication challenges, building self-love, or processing difficult experiences, I'm here to provide steady, compassionate support.
Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your healing 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.
