Life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, major life changes, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain perspective, and move forward. I work collaboratively with teens, adults, and older adults to better understand the challenges they're facing and develop practical strategies that support emotional well-being, resilience, and self-confidence.
My approach is warm, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. Clients often appreciate my calm, thoughtful approach and my ability to balance emotional support with practical problem-solving.
I have extensive experience working with children, teens, adults, and older adults, and I understand that different stages of life bring different challenges and opportunities for growth.
I also enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD, learning differences, and challenges with emotional regulation.
My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

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.
