Starting over can be HARD! Life transitions such as divorce, relocation, or separation from a job or a relationship can be tough to navigate. Whether these changes are planned or unexpected, they often bring about feelings of fear, confusion, frustration, and more.
In my practice, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to process your thoughts and emotions. My goal is to meet you where you are and help guide you through your transition.
I use motivational interviewing techniques, empowerment-based therapy, strength-based therapy, and more to help you identify, reflect, and process the barriers you feel may be keeping you from embracing or understanding where you are in your life.
Your journey starts here! Today! I look forward to embracing this journey with you!

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.
