Hello, and welcome. Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and I am honored to be a part of your journey toward healing and personal growth.
I am a compassionate Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, self-esteem, life transitions, family conflict, relationship concerns, behavioral challenges, and substance use. I also have experience supporting adolescents who are struggling with peer pressure, school-related concerns, emotional regulation, and rebuilding trust within their families.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and client centered. I believe that every individual has unique strengths, and together we will identify practical strategies to help you overcome obstacles, develop healthier coping skills, and achieve your personal goals. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care, tailoring treatment to meet your individual needs.
My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Whether you are navigating a difficult life transition, coping with overwhelming emotions, or simply looking to better understand yourself, I am committed to helping you build resilience and create meaningful, lasting change.
I look forward to working with you and supporting you on your path toward healing and wellness.

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.
