- LCSW
With over four years of professional experience, I am passionate about helping individuals and families overcome life’s challenges. I specialize in working with clients dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, grief, and relationship issues, including divorce and parenting concerns. My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and a person-centered approach, allowing us to tailor our work to your unique needs and goals.
I have experience supporting clients with school and behavioral issues, as well as navigating the complexities of grief and loss. I believe in creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, validated, and empowered to work toward healing and personal growth.
Taking the first step to reach out for support takes courage, and I am proud of you for making that decision. Together, we will explore your challenges, build effective coping strategies, and develop a plan for lasting change.

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.
