I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions and struggles. My work centers on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and the complexities of addiction and family dynamics. I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to therapy, honoring the unique identities and experiences my clients bring to our work together.
I specialize in supporting people through significant life changes—including divorce, loss, and midlife transitions—as well as deeper issues like codependency, abandonment, and control patterns. I'm also experienced in helping clients explore self-love, forgiveness, financial concerns, and women's issues with sensitivity and care.
My approach is grounded in creating a safe, affirming space where you feel truly seen and heard. I work with clients navigating mood challenges, chronic pain, end-of-life concerns, and the weight of past hurts. Whether you're processing infidelity, family conflict, or simply feeling lost, I'm here to walk alongside you with authenticity and respect.
I believe healing happens when we're met with genuine understanding and without judgment. I'm honored to support your journey toward wholeness and peace.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
