I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals and families through life's most challenging transitions. My work centers on helping people navigate family conflicts, grief, and the profound shifts that come with major life changes. I bring a compassionate, grounded approach to therapy—one that honors your values and meets you where you are.
I believe in creating a space where you feel genuinely heard and respected. My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered, drawing on evidence-based practices to help you process difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, and build resilience during times of uncertainty.
Whether you're working through family dynamics, processing loss, or adapting to significant life transitions, I'm here to support your journey with authenticity and care. Taking that first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside 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.
