I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients across the lifespan, helping them navigate depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, and self-esteem concerns.
My approach is grounded in compassion and authenticity. I create a safe, affirming space where you can explore complex emotions, heal from past wounds, and build meaningful connections—with yourself and others. I'm particularly skilled in helping clients work through trauma, attachment issues, communication challenges, and questions of identity and purpose.
I have deep experience supporting diverse communities, including LGBTQ+ individuals, people of faith, older adults, veterans and first responders, and those navigating life transitions. I'm also experienced in working with men's issues, fatherhood, adoption and foster care, addiction recovery, and domestic violence.
Whether you're facing a midlife transition, struggling with isolation, processing grief and shame, or seeking to understand yourself more fully, I'm here to walk alongside you with honesty, respect, and genuine care. My goal is to help you reclaim your sense of self-worth and move toward a life that feels authentic and purposeful.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your journey.

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.
