Where compassion meets structure, my practice delivers therapy that is immediately usable and evidence-based. I bring extensive experience across settings and populations such as children, adolescents, transition-age youth, adults; justice-involved clients; foster care/TAY; LGBTQ+ and culturally diverse communities. My work centers on integrated care for co-occurring disorders, treating mental health and substance use together rather than in silos. Clinically, I draw on DBT (emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness), CBT/CBT-p, Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based addiction treatment, using harm-reduction or abstinence pathways aligned with client goals. Collaboration with caregivers, schools, courts, and medical providers ensures coherent, systems-aware care. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory, I focus on strengthening autonomy, competence, and relatedness so skills hold outside session. Common concerns include co-occurring disorders, substance use/recovery, bipolar I/II, schizophrenia, trauma and complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, anger/impulse control, sleep disturbance, and family/relationship conflict. Expect clear plans, weekly skills practice, and routine outcome check-ins.

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.
