Hello,
I have worked as a counselor for over 15 years and have experience working with people from a variety of backgrounds, struggling with various challenges. Much of my experience has been working with people struggling with anxiety and depression, trauma, OCD and addictions. The individuals with whom I worked have found me to be empathetic, nonjudgmental, and direct. I do my best to help you face your struggles and gain insight into yourself in a manner that helps forge a connection. My hope is to help you begin to view yourself as valuable, worthy, and self-accepting so you can forge the ability to create your own happiness.

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.
