- LCSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, trauma, adoption, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is grounded in compassion and a deep respect for each person's unique journey.
I specialize in helping clients explore isolation and loneliness, discover life purpose, work through forgiveness, and heal from posttraumatic stress. I also support caregivers managing stress, women navigating life transitions, and individuals coping with chronic pain and illness. Whether you're facing a midlife crisis, young adult challenges, commitment concerns, or questions around adoption and foster care, I'm here to help.
I'm particularly honored to work with clients who value faith in their healing process. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and person-centered, creating a safe space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. I believe in meeting you where you are and walking alongside you as you move toward greater peace and wholeness.
As a clinical social worker, I take a holistic, person-in-environment approach to therapy. I recognize that emotional well-being is shaped not only by internal experiences but also by relationships, life circumstances, and the broader systems around us. Drawing on evidence-based practices and a strengths-based perspective, I partner with clients to understand challenges in context, build resilience, and create meaningful, sustainable change.
If you're ready to take that courageous first step toward healing, I'd be grateful to support you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
