- LCSW
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Over my career, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, grief, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue—helping them find clarity, resilience, and meaningful change.
My approach is grounded in empathy and collaboration. I believe in meeting you where you are, listening deeply to your unique story, and working together to identify what will help you move forward. I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to support your healing at a pace that feels right for you.
I understand that taking the step to seek therapy requires courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your journey. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as you work toward greater wellbeing.

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.
