I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting clients through life's most challenging moments. With experience working with depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns, I help individuals navigate transitions and build meaningful coping strategies tailored to their unique needs.
My work centers on supporting people through various life stages—as well as addressing sexuality, mindful living, and the complexities of everyday life. I also specialize in supporting clients with ADHD and impulsivity concerns, helping them develop greater self-awareness and practical tools for daily life.
I bring a client-centered, culturally responsive approach to therapy. I believe in honoring your individual identity, values, and lived experience as we work together toward greater clarity, purpose, and wellbeing. My goal is to create a compassionate, affirming space where you feel truly seen and supported.
I'm committed to meeting you where you are and walking alongside you as you navigate what matters most to 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.
