When we face emotional distress, it is common for us to feel hopeless and "stuck". My passion is helping people break free from emotional anguish -- such as depression, anxiety, and past trauma -- to find peace, wellness, and the ability to move forward in life.
In a nonjudgmental environment, I help my clients develop effective coping skills and healthy perceptions of themselves. In addition to three years in private practice, my background includes 10 years working with children, teens, and their families as a School Counselor. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for trauma.

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.
