More about Udeme
- 5 years' experience

- LICSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With experience working with clients across diverse backgrounds, I specialize in helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. I'm particularly skilled in addressing anger management, communication difficulties, and social anxiety.
My work focuses on creating a safe, affirming space where you can explore attachment patterns, workplace challenges, family dynamics, and the lasting effects of trauma. I also have experience supporting individuals with autism, those navigating adoption and foster care experiences, and those managing panic disorder and posttraumatic stress.
My approach is grounded in cultural responsiveness and genuine care. I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your unique identity and values, and working collaboratively toward meaningful healing and growth. I'm committed to helping you build stronger relationships, develop healthier coping strategies, and reconnect with your sense of self-worth.
If you're ready to take that courageous first step toward change, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and support.

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.
