I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions and emotional struggles. I work with clients across the lifespan, bringing a compassionate, person-centered approach to therapy.
My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, and grief. I also specialize in supporting people navigating major life changes—including divorce, caregiving responsibilities, postpartum challenges, and health-related difficulties. I have particular expertise working with women's issues, mood disorders, seasonal affective patterns, and the unique concerns that arise during young adulthood and later life stages.
I'm especially skilled at helping clients develop self-compassion, improve communication, and build resilience in the face of trauma, loss, and chronic illness. Whether you're managing a blended family dynamic, processing grief, or working through posttraumatic stress, I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where your experience is honored.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and a deep commitment to meeting you where you are. I believe in the power of authentic connection and meaningful dialogue to support your healing and growth. I'm here to walk alongside you with care, honesty, and genuine support as you move toward greater peace and wholeness.

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.
