I'm a compassionate therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. My extensive experience allows me to effectively support, educate, and equip clients across a broad spectrum of issues. My specialties include issues related to betrayal trauma in relationships, abuse, substance abuse and the grief and loss that accompany these challenges.
I work with clients across the lifespan and bring a person-centered, evidence-based approach to therapy. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences authentically. My therapeutic style is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and respect for your unique perspective and values.
I'm honored to work with clients seeking a therapist who aligns with their worldview and life experience. Whether you're processing grief, managing stress, or working through complex emotions, I'm here to support your healing journey with genuine care and professional skill.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm truly grateful you're considering this important work.

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.
