LPC

I began my counseling journey in 2009 and became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2015. Over the years, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals and families through trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and other difficult seasons. My training includes EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders, DBT, and ACT. I strive to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. My approach is practical, strengths-based, and tailored to each person’s unique needs, values, and goals.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
