I'm a licensed therapist in California with a decade of experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and trauma, helping them build resilience and find meaningful paths forward.
My approach is grounded in compassion and respect for each person's unique values and beliefs. I welcome clients from diverse faith backgrounds—whether Christian, non-religious, or anywhere in between—and I'm committed to honoring your worldview as we work together.
I specialize in helping clients explore self-love, improve communication, address isolation and loneliness, and discover life purpose. I also support those working through social anxiety, guilt and shame, forgiveness, control issues, panic attacks, trauma recovery, divorce, attachment challenges, caregiver stress, and mood-related concerns.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I believe you are the expert of your own experience, and my role is to walk alongside you with genuine care, curiosity, and steadiness. I'm honored to support you as you move 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.
