I'm honored to work with people seeking change in their lives, and offer a safe space to explore yourself, your relationships with those around you, and your sense of purpose. I also explore what appears to be blocking you from where you would like to be in life. I work with my clients to create goals and identify and work with your strengths and unique qualities as a human being who deserves happiness.
I believe psychotherapy is tailored to the needs of the client. Through building a therapeutic relationship, any number of topics or issues may be explored. My approach to therapy is trauma-focused, which means current or past events that have disrupted your sense of self may be a theme in our work.
I believe a common outcome of psychotherapy is building a life we can feel grateful to live. Beginning the process of psychotherapy can feel like venturing into the unknown. I'm happy to begin that journey with you.
For potential clients: Please be advised that I do not offer messaging services outside of scheduling communication for video meetings.

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.
