- LMFT
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's meaningful challenges. With several years of clinical experience, I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and the complexities of family relationships. I'm passionate about helping people build stronger communication skills, reconnect with themselves and others, and discover greater purpose and direction in their lives.
My approach is grounded in respect for your values and beliefs. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and faith perspectives—whether you're seeking a therapist who shares your Christian faith, prefer a secular approach, or value a therapist of color. I honor the unique identities and experiences you bring to our work together.
I specialize in supporting clients through isolation, loneliness, social anxiety, and the emotional weight of life transitions. I also work thoughtfully with themes of forgiveness and self-esteem, helping you cultivate compassion for yourself and others.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I believe in meeting you where you are and working at a pace that feels right for you. Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.

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.
