In life, there will always be ups and downs. While the ups can be wonderful, the downs can sometimes be painful. Most individuals are able to rebound during difficult times, but for those who remain down or feel stuck, I am here to help. The goal is not to eliminate difficult moments and memories, but to learn new tools and develop better insight to manage that difficulty and pain. We will start by exploring and breaking disruptive cycles to create an atmosphere for healing. Therapy is a collaborative process, and my goal is to offer a supportive environment that facilitates meaningful change and assists you in developing better methods of coping with daily struggles.
I have worked in schools, employment offices, social services, and behavioral hospital settings. These environments have given me the privilege of working with diverse populations and the opportunity to engage with various levels of the complex mental health and social service systems. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with anxiety, stress, depression, and various other mental health issues. I am also here to assist with navigating systems of care beyond our sessions together. I hope to be a partner as you begin your journey toward healing.

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.
