- LCSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With experience working across a wide range of concerns—including depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship difficulties—I bring both clinical expertise and genuine care to my practice.
I specialize in helping clients navigate complex emotions like shame, guilt, and feelings of emptiness, while also addressing practical life concerns such as financial stress, workplace challenges, and family dynamics. I'm particularly skilled in supporting young adults, individuals healing from trauma and abuse, and those navigating major life transitions like divorce or blended family adjustments.
My approach is grounded in cultural responsiveness and an understanding of how identity shapes our experiences. I work with clients on building self-love, improving communication, processing grief and loss, and finding meaning and purpose in their lives.
I believe in creating a therapeutic space where you feel truly seen and respected. My goal is to walk alongside you with authenticity and compassion as you work toward healing and growth.

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.
