- LCSW
I'm a therapist with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients across the lifespan, specializing in depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and a deep commitment to meeting each person where they are.
I'm particularly skilled at helping clients navigate complex emotional terrain—including trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and identity concerns. I work with individuals managing mood disorders, co-occurring challenges, chronic pain, and life transitions like divorce or major loss. I also have experience supporting military veterans, first responders, and those in recovery from substance use and behavioral addictions.
My therapeutic style is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and affirming. I create a space where you can explore your authentic self, build meaningful connections, and develop the tools you need for lasting change. Whether you're working through anger, shame, isolation, or questions about life purpose, I'm here to support your journey with compassion and honesty.
I'm honored by the trust my clients place in me, and I'm committed to helping you move toward greater self-love, resilience, and peace.

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.
