"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

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
