- LCSW
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Over my career, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. I bring a compassionate, client-centered approach to therapy, creating a safe and affirming space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace.
I'm committed to working with LGBTQ+ clients and honoring the unique identities and experiences you bring to our work together. My goal is to help you build insight, resilience, and meaningful change through evidence-based practices tailored to your individual needs.
I believe therapy works best when built on trust, respect, and genuine collaboration. I'm here to listen, support, and walk alongside you as you move toward healing and growth. I'm honored you're taking this important step, and I look forward to working with you.

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.
