I'm a therapist with a decade of experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients across the lifespan, addressing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, trauma, and major life transitions.
My approach is grounded in compassion and cultural awareness. I'm committed to creating a therapeutic space that honors your identity, values, and unique perspective. I bring authenticity and genuine care to our work together, recognizing that healing happens when you feel truly seen and respected.
I specialize in helping clients navigate a wide range of concerns—including trauma and abuse recovery, communication struggles, self-worth, life purpose, attachment patterns, grief, addiction, and the complexities of family dynamics. I also work with individuals facing workplace challenges, financial stress, health-related concerns, and significant life transitions like divorce, midlife shifts, and parenthood.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and person-centered. I draw on evidence-based practices to help you build insight, develop coping skills, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace. Whether you're processing past wounds, strengthening relationships, or discovering who you want to become, I'm here to support your journey with honesty, respect, and genuine care.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you.

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.
