With life comes uncertainties and stressors that can be overwhelming, and I’m here to help. As a licensed clinical social worker, I have worked in a variety of settings with diverse populations and various age groups. I have experience working with clients seeking support for managing feelings of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, and also assist in navigating through life transitions and interpersonal relationships.
My approach is flexible and integrative, informed by cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and solution focused therapies. I strive in building a therapeutic relationship consisting of compassion, patience, and warmth. Through this therapeutic process, I aim in assisting you in developing a greater sense of self-awareness, acceptance, and confidence, that can empower you to better understand yourself as you work towards desired change and growth. I also work with clients in exploring possible barriers and creating healthy coping skills to assist with managing overwhelming emotions.
I hold the utmost respect for the courage and strength it takes to seek support and I appreciate and welcome the opportunity to work 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.
