Most people don’t come to therapy by accident. They come when something important is shifting and they’re ready to engage with it.
I’m a credentialed therapist working with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, burnout, and significant life transitions.
My work is integrative and insight-oriented, blending evidence-based therapy with mindfulness, somatic awareness, and values-based exploration. I’m especially drawn to working with people at a turning point — navigating relocation, career change, relationship shifts, identity questions, or a persistent sense that something needs to change.
I work collaboratively and directly, with an emphasis on clarity, self-understanding, and meaningful forward movement. Therapy with me isn’t about staying comfortable or simply managing symptoms; it’s about understanding patterns, reclaiming agency, and choosing direction with intention.
My approach tends to resonate with reflective, engaged clients, including those living or working across different cultures or time zones.

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.
