- LICSW
As a licensed therapist in West Virginia, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop self-compassion, improve communication skills, and rediscover their sense of purpose. I have extensive experience addressing challenges like depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, and grief.
My therapeutic work focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their inner experiences. I'm particularly passionate about helping clients work through difficult emotions such as guilt, shame, and panic, and supporting those experiencing life transitions like divorce or caregiver stress.
I believe in empowering clients to develop stronger self-understanding and resilience. By utilizing evidence-based practices, I collaborate with individuals to develop personalized strategies for emotional healing and personal growth. My goal is to walk alongside you as you build greater self-love, emotional balance, and meaningful connections in your life.

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.
