I'm a therapist with four years of clinical experience supporting individuals through a wide range of mental health challenges. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, addiction, and relationship concerns. My approach is grounded in understanding the deeper patterns that shape how we relate to ourselves and others.
I specialize in helping clients explore self-compassion, improve communication, and work through feelings of isolation, shame, and guilt. I'm also experienced in supporting those dealing with social anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, attachment difficulties, mood disorders, and life transitions. Whether you're seeking clarity around your life's purpose, working through abandonment or control patterns, or addressing workplace challenges, I'm here to help you move toward greater peace and authenticity.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where your insights and strengths are central to the healing process. I'm committed to creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what matters most to you. I'm honored to support you as you work toward meaningful change.

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.
