I'm a therapist with over two decades of experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and grief, helping them build resilience and find meaning in their lives.
My practice focuses on a range of concerns, including communication struggles, isolation and loneliness, social anxiety, life purpose, forgiveness, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, women's issues, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective disorder. I also support clients working through self-esteem concerns and the complexities of major life transitions.
I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to therapy, honoring each client's unique background, values, and spiritual beliefs. I believe in creating a safe, affirming space where you can explore your experiences authentically and work toward meaningful change at your own pace.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I draw on evidence-based practices to help you gain insight, strengthen your relationships, and reconnect with your sense of purpose and wholeness. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or seeking support during a difficult season of life, I'm here to walk alongside you with care, respect, and genuine commitment to your healing journey.

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.
