- LMFT
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's meaningful challenges. With several years of clinical experience, I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and the complexities of family relationships. I'm passionate about helping people build stronger communication skills, reconnect with themselves and others, and discover greater purpose and direction in their lives.
My approach is grounded in respect for your values and beliefs. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and faith perspectives—whether you're seeking a therapist who shares your Christian faith, prefer a secular approach, or value a therapist of color. I honor the unique identities and experiences you bring to our work together.
I specialize in supporting clients through isolation, loneliness, social anxiety, and the emotional weight of life transitions. I also work thoughtfully with themes of forgiveness and self-esteem, helping you cultivate compassion for yourself and others.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I believe in meeting you where you are and working at a pace that feels right for you. Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.

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.
