I am licensed in Pennsylvania with more than 8 years of professional counseling experience. My journey as a therapist has been a rich tapestry of experiences in schools and various outpatient therapeutic settings. My primary areas of focus include anxiety and depression, self-esteem, grief and loss, work stress, and interpersonal effectiveness. I believe in making therapy engaging and effective for clients. By incorporating a mix of motivational interviewing with experiential activities, I create a dynamic and expressive space for exploration.

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.
