I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's challenging transitions and emotional struggles. With extensive experience, I've worked with clients navigating depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and the weight of major life changes. My approach is grounded in compassion. I create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you can explore complex feelings to reach your goals.
I draw from evidence-based therapeutic practices to support meaningful insight and sustainable change at your own pace. My work is informed by a person-centered philosophy—I believe you are the expert of your own story, and my role is to walk alongside you with genuine care and curiosity. Centering on your strengths, I will provide support to identify your therapy goals, and together, form a shared plan of manageable steps to achieve these goals.
I'm here to support your journey with warmth, respect, and commitment to your growth through the development of coping skills and behaviors that promote forward momentum.

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.
