- LPC-MH
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Over my career, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, and parenting concerns. I'm passionate about helping people build stronger communication skills, overcome social anxiety, and develop a deeper sense of self-love and acceptance.
My approach is grounded in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore feelings of guilt, shame, and control patterns that may be holding you back. I work collaboratively with each client, honoring their values and beliefs while tailoring my support to meet your unique needs.
I draw from evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you gain insight, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace. Whether you're working through past trauma, strengthening relationships, or simply learning to be kinder to yourself, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and genuine care.
Taking that first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your 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.
