- LICSW
As a licensed therapist in West Virginia, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop self-compassion, improve communication skills, and rediscover their sense of purpose. I have extensive experience addressing challenges like depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, and grief.
My therapeutic work focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their inner experiences. I'm particularly passionate about helping clients work through difficult emotions such as guilt, shame, and panic, and supporting those experiencing life transitions like divorce or caregiver stress.
I believe in empowering clients to develop stronger self-understanding and resilience. By utilizing evidence-based practices, I collaborate with individuals to develop personalized strategies for emotional healing and personal growth. My goal is to walk alongside you as you build greater self-love, emotional balance, and meaningful connections in your life.

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.
