I am a dedicated English speaking Licensed Mental Health Counselor offering compassionate support to individuals and couples. I have been a psychotherapist for many years. I have both life and professional experience to offer. I strive to create a safe environment for you to explore and successfully address the challenges you face. I offer a compassionate approach specialize to treating depression, anxiety, hopelessness, grief, and communication issues as well as "unfounded emotions". I am a certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTPII). Trauma is not necessarily a specific event; it can be the environment you breathe(d). I believe everyone is unique and therapy must meet those unique needs.
I help clients to move forward in their lives by using an integrative approach. I draw on trauma specific interventions as well as energy psychology. These techniques can be very effective to help people move through troubling issues and feelings. I find energy work invaluable to processing issues, but talk therapy and relationship building is where it starts. I believe everyone is unique and therapy must meet those unique needs. The patient decides what they are comfortable with at any given time.
I've worked with a wide variety of clients and have substantial experience providing support to people from many backgrounds with a wide variety of concerns. I can help you be the person you want to be by helping you to see what's in your way. I find energy work invaluable for processing issues, but talk therapy and relationship building is where it starts.

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.
