As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my approach to therapy is empathetic, assertive, and collaborative. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions. Together, we’ll identify your goals and develop practical strategies to overcome challenges like anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
I specialize in helping individuals gain a deeper understanding of themselves, build healthier coping skills, and develop a stronger sense of self-worth. My therapy style combines encouragement with actionable steps, empowering you to take control of your mental health and create lasting positive change.
You can expect to leave our sessions with a clearer perspective, greater confidence in your ability to handle challenges, and the tools to maintain long-term progress. My goal is to support you in becoming the best version of yourself by providing guidance and accountability every step of the way.

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.
