As a licensed therapist serving West Virginia and Maryland, I bring a decade of dedicated experience supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My clinical expertise centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem. I specialize in supporting individuals struggling with anxiety, panic disorders, PTSD, depression, insomnia, and a range of other psychosocial circumstances.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate and collaborative, designed to help clients develop resilience and meaningful coping strategies. I understand that each person's journey is unique, and I strive to create a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences, heal from past challenges, and build stronger emotional foundations.
Through evidence-based practices, I work alongside clients to develop personalized strategies for managing stress, processing difficult emotions, and cultivating greater self-understanding. Whether you're dealing with communication challenges, working through feelings of guilt and shame, or seeking support in managing life transitions, I'm committed to walking with you toward healing and personal growth.

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.
