I'm a therapist with nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. I work with clients of all backgrounds and am particularly honored to assist those in their healing journey.
My expertise centers on stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and family conflicts. I'm skilled at helping clients navigate self-esteem concerns, career transitions, and the complex emotions that arise during major life changes like divorce and separation.
I specialize in fostering deeper self-compassion and meaningful communication. I help clients work through guilt, shame, and forgiveness—both toward themselves and others. I also support those navigating attachment patterns, financial stress, and the relational impacts of money concerns.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in understanding how your values, beliefs, and life experiences shape who you are. I create a respectful, non-judgmental space where you can explore your concerns at your own pace and build the skills and insight needed for lasting change.
Whether you're facing relationship struggles, career uncertainty, or a desire to reconnect with yourself, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and genuine care. Taking this step toward therapy reflects real courage, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to support your journey.

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.
