She’s patient and makes sure you feel comfortable with her. I love that after we covered heavy topics, she walked me through calming exercises to ease me back into my day after our session.

Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I have worked and interned in a variety of clinical settings such as group homes, residential treatment facilities, crisis centers, detention centers, juvenile drug court, and outpatient practices. My clinical experiences include working with children, adolescents, and adults from a variety of ethnic, racial, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation exceptionalities, religious, geographical areas, and academic/professional background. I have worked with an array of mental illnesses and have served those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, and depression.

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.
