- LMFT
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. Over my career, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and the complexities of relationships and self-esteem. I'm particularly drawn to helping people explore self-love, spirituality, improve communication, and reconnect with their sense of purpose—especially during significant life changes.
I understand how isolation and loneliness can compound feelings of guilt and shame, and I'm committed to creating a compassionate space where you can work through these experiences. My approach is grounded in genuine connection and a deep respect for where you are in your journey.
Whether you're facing a major life transition, struggling with self-worth, or seeking to rebuild meaningful connections, I'm here to support you with care and authenticity. I believe healing happens when we feel truly heard and understood. I'm honored to walk alongside you as you move toward greater peace and purpose.

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.
