I’m a compassionate, trauma-informed therapist who believes that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, understand patterns that may be holding you back, and develop healthier ways of navigating life and relationships.
My approach is collaborative and personalized, drawing from evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, EMDR, Brainspotting, and psychodynamic therapy. I also incorporate mindfulness and breathwork when appropriate to help clients reconnect with themselves and feel more grounded.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, relationships, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward greater clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. We can work through it together.

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.
