Do you feel overwhelmed with trying to be everything to everyone? You do feel like you're not enough? That you're unworthy? Unloveable? You're not alone, and together we can uncover the roots of patterns, that probably developed out of protection, and help you heal and live your life more authentically.
Therapy should be one of the few places where you don't have to pretend you're okay. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. You are the expert on your own life; my role is to walk alongside you, offering guidance, support, and encouragement as you navigate your healing journey.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience helping individuals heal from trauma, navigate anxiety and depression, work through relationship challenges, and find their way through life's difficult seasons. I have a special passion for working with people who struggle with low self-worth, people-pleasing, codependency, perfectionism, and feeling like they've lost themselves while trying to take care of everyone else.

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.
