Trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief can feel like an unbearable weight on your shoulders. My past experience and education allow me to work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples who are dealing with life challenges. I have specialty training in trauma, such as sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, combat related trauma, and complex trauma. Everyone has the capacity for growth and healing and whether it requires working through the past, being mindful of the present or preparing for the future, you are capable of creating the life you desire.
I am a client centered therapist who utilizes evidenced based, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness approaches in order to engage one’s body, mind, and spirit for an integrated approach to wellness. I am empathetic, genuine, and direct and I build rapport quickly, allowing efficient and effective goal attainment in therapy.
Allow me to walk with you through life’s obstacles in order to attain better insight and inner peace.

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.
