Are you feeling stuck? Anxious? Overwhelmed? Depressed? In life, there are times we find ourselves in places we didn't expect, such as: job loss, career fatigue, postpartum depression, lack of direction or goals, experiencing infertility, or the loss of someone precious and dear to you. Life is hard and we all need guidance and support along the way. Therapy is a great tool to help you figure out how to move forward. With me, you will find a curious, warm, empathetic listener, who wants to support and provide insight as you respond to your current life's challenges.
I am a licensed therapist who believes that transformation comes when we are able to experience a trusting environment of love and understanding. I have a total of 12 years experience as a therapist. Over the last decade, I have worked in school, hospital, and private practice settings. I work with adults, adolescents and families dealing with anxiety, depression, racial trauma, and transition of life issues, relationship issues, cultural identity, career support needs, infertility, identity development, and more.
Seeking help takes a tremendous amount of courage. I honor your bravery and look forward to meeting you and working with you soon.

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.
