Hi, I’m a Licensed Intake Clinician and therapist with a Master of Social Work and over 10 years of experience supporting individuals, children, families, and veterans through challenging and sometimes overwhelming life experiences.
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood—not judged. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping you better understand yourself, navigate difficult circumstances, and develop practical tools to move forward. I recognize that reaching out for support can take courage, and I strive to create a safe environment where you can be open and honest about what you’re experiencing.
I view therapy as a partnership. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I want to understand your individual experiences, goals, strengths, and concerns so that we can work together toward meaningful change. Whether you're struggling with stress, feeling stuck, navigating a major transition, processing difficult experiences, or simply want a supportive space to work through what's on your mind, you don't have to navigate it alone.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel uncomfortable, but you deserve a space where your experiences matter. I would be honored to support you on your journey toward greater understanding, healing, and growth.

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.
