"We don't have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to." Brene´ Brown

I get great joy in helping clients find satisfactory resolutions to routine and unexpected challenges, and my primary goal is to see you thrive and function optimally. Working as a people helper has been my desire since high school, and I can honestly say that I love being a therapist. My mission is to support you with integrity and skill.

Helping individuals learn skills that result in useful thinking, mindful living and healthy relationships is deeply satisfying to me. Whether you're feeling stuck, worried, stressed, anxious, depressed, uncertain, apathetic, disillusioned, disappointed, and/or confused, I'm here to assist you in identifying strengths, limitations, growth areas, and opportunities. I provide strength-focused support with emphasis on healthy coping skills, emotion regulation, solution-building, and interpersonal effectiveness. I collaborate with you to help you reach your mental health, emotional health, and spiritual health goals.

I do my best work with individuals who recognize a need for change and are willing to try new ways of thinking and behaving. As a strength-focused therapist who collaborates with clients in taking practical steps, I would consider it a privilege to walk with you. I bring keen awareness, empathy and steadfastness to the counseling process that facilitates insight and growth.

About online counseling

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.
