I am also proud to offer Christian counseling to those who are looking for a faith-based approach. Before deciding to become a counselor, I earned my bachelor of arts degree in Pastoral Studies. I also have experience with focus concerns related to ADHD, as this has also been a personal challenge. I work with my clients to create an environment where you can come as you are, foster growth, and find hope.

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.
