I'm a licensed therapist in California with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Over my career, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, and relationship difficulties, helping them build resilience and find meaningful paths forward.
My approach is grounded in Christianity, compassion and cultural awareness. I utilize prayer and scripture in sessions. I'm particularly skilled at addressing communication patterns, self-esteem concerns, guilt and shame, and the complexities of forgiveness. I work with clients facing major life transitions—including divorce, blended family dynamics, and workplace challenges—as well as those managing caregiver stress, financial concerns, and the unique pressures women often face.
I also have specialized experience supporting military veterans, individuals in recovery, and those healing from domestic violence. My work honors the intersection of faith, identity, and personal growth, creating space for clients to explore life purpose and spiritual dimensions of healing.
I believe in meeting you where you are with genuine respect and understanding. Therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you as you move toward greater peace and wholeness.

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.
