- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and PhD-level clinician with over 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. My specialties include trauma recovery, perinatal and postpartum mental health, and relationship issues. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment based therapy, and mindsight to create a supportive and effective healing process. Clients often describe me as warm, straightforward, and deeply attuned—someone who helps them feel seen, understood, and equipped with tools for lasting change.
In my practice, I provide a safe and collaborative space where you can process stress, heal old wounds, and strengthen the relationships that matter most. Whether you are navigating the transition to parenthood, working through past trauma, or seeking to improve communication and connection with a partner, I tailor treatment to your unique needs. My goal is to support you in building resilience, fostering self-awareness, and creating more balance and peace in your life.

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.
