I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With extensive experience, I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, and self-esteem concerns.
My approach is grounded in creating a safe, affirming space where you can explore your authentic self. I specialize in helping clients work through communication barriers, discover their life purpose, and heal from guilt, shame, and trauma. I'm particularly passionate about supporting women's issues, sexuality concerns, intimate relationships—including polyamorous and non-monogamous dynamics—and recovery from domestic violence.
I believe in meeting you where you are with compassion, honesty, and cultural responsiveness. My work is informed by evidence-based practices and a deep commitment to honoring your identity, values, and lived experience. Whether you're seeking to strengthen your relationships, reclaim your self-worth, or process difficult emotions, I'm here to walk alongside you with genuine care and support.
Taking that first step toward healing takes courage, and I'm honored to be part of 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.
