If you are reading this because you want help and don't know what to do, I can relate. Life hits hard. I want you to know something very important - YOU MATTER. Your struggles are real. And, you can be happy, joyous, and free!

I have three years of experience in mental health treatment, along with my own struggle through addiction and recovery. I specialize in depression, anxiety, addiction, young adult concerns, and helping people rediscover their worth.

Research shows that what most makes counseling useful is feeling connected with your counselor. If you feel like we could be a good fit, please reach out. :) If we don't click, let me know at any time - you deserve a counselor who fits you.

Regardless, know that many people who felt just like you do now have found their way to feeling better, and you can too.

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.
