As a licensed therapist, I bring nearly two decades of compassionate mental health experience to my practice. My professional journey is dedicated to supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes, with specialized expertise in depression, relationship dynamics, career transitions, and life changes.
I approach therapy as a collaborative partnership, believing that each person has inherent strengths and resilience. My therapeutic style centers on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their challenges, develop meaningful insights, and cultivate sustainable strategies for personal growth.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work closely with individuals to understand their unique experiences and empower them to create positive, transformative change. Whether you're struggling with emotional difficulties, relationship complexities, or professional uncertainties, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance.
My goal is to help you build emotional skills, enhance self-understanding, and discover pathways toward greater well-being and personal fulfillment. I look forward to supporting you on your journey of healing and self-discovery.

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.
