Life can be unpredictable, and you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed, afraid, anxious, stressed, or alone. If you are experiencing relationship issues, identity issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions, loss, or trauma, therapy can help. I understand that therapy can be difficult, so my goal is to create a safe and supportive environment tailored to your needs and journey.
Whether you are navigating grief, learning how to make healthy boundaries, building self-esteem, or adapting to life’s transitions, we will collaborate to identify your goals and work toward meaningful progress. My role is to support your growth, foster resilience, and help you embrace a greater sense of fulfillment. I will provide support and maintain hope throughout the process.
I believe that every human being is unique, and there is no perfect theoretical approach that fits all. For this reason, I draw from multiple theoretical orientations and techniques to help you reach your goals. I am drawn to humanistic theories, which are centered on the individual. In every session, I strive to provide a non-judgmental space where you can feel safe, seen, and accepted.

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.
