As a licensed therapist with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and significant life transitions. I have deep expertise working with diverse populations, including young adults, military veterans, first responders, and individuals experiencing major life changes.
My approach is compassionate and tailored, focusing on understanding each person's unique journey. I'm particularly skilled in addressing sensitive issues such as postpartum experiences, blended family dynamics, and end-of-life counseling. I create a supportive environment that honors individual experiences and promotes healing, personal growth, and emotional resilience.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I help clients develop robust coping strategies, rebuild self-esteem, and move toward more fulfilling lives. My therapeutic style emphasizes empowerment, respect, and collaborative healing, ensuring that every individual feels heard, validated, and supported throughout their therapeutic journey.

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.
