I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, and grief—helping them find clarity, healing, and renewed sense of purpose.
My approach is grounded in creating a safe, affirming space where you feel truly heard and respected. I'm committed to working with LGBTQ+ clients and those seeking a secular therapeutic environment. I specialize in helping people explore self-love, improve communication, work through isolation and loneliness, and address concerns like social anxiety, panic, and post-traumatic stress.
I also support clients working through life transitions—including divorce, loss, and major life changes—as well as complex issues like attachment patterns, codependency, self-harm, and identity concerns. Whether you're navigating family dynamics, workplace challenges, relationship patterns, or personal growth, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and genuine care.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and person-centered. I believe in meeting you where you are and honoring your unique experiences and strengths. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels right for you, building tools and insights that support meaningful, lasting change.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your journey.

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.
