My Approach
I believe that every person is valuable, not because of what they do or don’t do but because of who they are. I have an eclectic, strength-based approach that is designed to meet you where you're at. I draw from a variety of techniques to include Solution Focused, CBT, Gottman, ACT, DBT, Forgiveness, and Narrative therapy.
My Professional Background
I have over 10 years of experience engaging women, young adults, and families in crisis, to include domestic violence centers, child protection services, and acute mental health. I have also had the privilege to collaborate with individuals, couples, and families as they strive to improve relationships, overcome addictions, and heal from past hurts.

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.
