I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma, helping them build resilience and reconnect with themselves.
My approach centers on fostering a sense of self-efficacy, healing from guilt and shame, and developing meaningful communication skills while building capacity for the difficult stuff. I'm particularly passionate about helping clients with a history of trauma, those who have served in the military and couples.
I bring a values-centered perspective to my work, honoring the beliefs and worldviews that matter most to you. Whether you're seeking to strengthen your sense of self-worth, navigate complex emotions, or build healthier connections, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and genuine care.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where your voice and experiences guide our work together. I'm honored to support you as you move toward greater peace, purpose, and wholeness.

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.
