- LCSW, LISW
I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 10+ years of experience providing compassionate care across the lifespan. I've worked with individuals from infancy through end-of-life, supporting them through complex medical diagnoses, severe mental health challenges, and life transitions.
Throughout my career, I've worn many hats—delivering direct therapy, coordinating care, advocating for clients' needs, and fostering wellness in community settings. I'm deeply committed to meeting people where they are and helping them navigate their most difficult moments with dignity and support.
I recognize that taking the first step toward therapy requires real courage, and I'm genuinely honored to be part of your journey. My approach is grounded in respect, collaboration, and a genuine belief in your capacity for growth and healing. I'm here to walk alongside you with care and commitment.

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.
