Welcome!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with approximately four years of experience supporting adults facing a variety of mental health challenges. My clinical experience includes working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, mood disorders, trauma, life transitions, and other emotional concerns in an inpatient psychiatric setting.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where clients can feel heard, respected, and empowered. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, develop healthy coping skills, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy. I tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating a major life transition, struggling with relationships, or simply looking for support and personal growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but you don't have to do it alone.

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.
