I'm a therapist with nearly a decade of experience supporting individuals through some of life's most challenging moments. I specialize in helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and the transitions that come with significant life changes.
My approach is grounded in compassion and a deep commitment to understanding each person's unique circumstances. I believe that healing happens in a space where you feel truly heard and respected. I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you develop coping skills, process difficult experiences, and move toward greater emotional resilience.
Whether you're struggling with the weight of depression, managing overwhelming stress, processing past trauma, or adjusting to a major life transition, I'm here to walk alongside you with care and expertise. I'm honored by the trust my clients place in me, and I'm committed to supporting your journey toward healing and growth.
Taking that first step toward therapy takes real courage—I'm proud of you for considering it.

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.
