Thank you for taking a risk and reaching out for help. It takes a lot of courage to take that first step towards change and I'm glad you're here. I look forward to helping you look at barriers that are keeping you from living your best life. I've worked with hundreds of people over the past 10+ years facing challenges just like you including trauma, depression, anxiety, life stressors, grief and coping with addictions. It is an honor to work with people as they explore challenges that are blocking them from experiencing the life they envision. My goal is work with you to develop a plan to address your specific needs in an environment where you feel supported and validated.

I celebrate all individuals and believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I look forward to working 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.
