I'm a therapist with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I specialize in helping people work through depression, anxiety, stress, and the self-doubt that often accompanies them.
My approach is grounded in compassion and a deep respect for each person's unique journey. I work with clients navigating social anxiety, isolation, communication struggles, and feelings of guilt or shame. I'm also passionate about helping people reconnect with their sense of self-worth and discover greater purpose and meaning in their lives.
I believe in creating a therapeutic space that honors your values and worldview. I bring a secular, progressive perspective to my work, and I'm committed to meeting you where you are without judgment.
Whether you're working through forgiveness, rebuilding relationships, or simply learning to be kinder to yourself, I'm here to support your growth with authenticity and care. I'm honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing and greater self-compassion.
I spent the first several years of my counseling career in addictions and the last ten has been focused on Mental Health.

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.
