I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, respected, and safe to show up as you are. I work collaboratively with clients to understand patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that support real, sustainable change.
My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and grounded in compassion. I often support people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, relationship challenges, life transitions, and feelings of disconnection of burnout. I have a particular interest in working with LGBTQ+ individuals, young adults, and people exploring self-worth, boundaries, and purpose.
In our work together, I aim to create a space that is both supportive and honest - where we can gently explore what's been holding you back while also focusing on what helps you move forward. Therapy doesn't require you to have everything figured out; it's a place to slow down, reflect, and build clarity at your own pace.
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to understand yourself better, I'd be glad to walk alongside you.

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.
