- LCSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, trauma, adoption, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is grounded in compassion and a deep respect for each person's unique journey.
I specialize in helping clients explore isolation and loneliness, discover life purpose, work through forgiveness, and heal from posttraumatic stress. I also support caregivers managing stress, women navigating life transitions, and individuals coping with chronic pain and illness. Whether you're facing a midlife crisis, young adult challenges, commitment concerns, or questions around adoption and foster care, I'm here to help.
I'm particularly honored to work with clients who value faith in their healing process. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and person-centered, creating a safe space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. I believe in meeting you where you are and walking alongside you as you move toward greater peace and wholeness.
As a clinical social worker, I take a holistic, person-in-environment approach to therapy. I recognize that emotional well-being is shaped not only by internal experiences but also by relationships, life circumstances, and the broader systems around us. Drawing on evidence-based practices and a strengths-based perspective, I partner with clients to understand challenges in context, build resilience, and create meaningful, sustainable change.
If you're ready to take that courageous first step toward healing, I'd be grateful to support 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.
