We live in busy times with many responsibilities as students, workers, children, and as a parent, or any combination of these. It is easy to become overworked, set high expectations of ourselves, and can become exhausted with our own efforts, struggling to find purpose, optimism, and motivation. I believe that when we slow down and have someone to check in with, we can find our way back to what we believe is our path, our purpose, and/or be more present in our lives. Checking in with our habits, behaviors and our emotions and intuition can tell us if and when we are thriving in life.
I also believe in the resilience and capacity for growth within every individual, however, sometimes due to trauma or patterns of behavior, we become stuck. One may know their behavior is unhealthy or preventing growth, yet unaware of how to change. The process of therapy is exploring what is stopping you from living your best life and offering support and guidance to make changes. I have experience helping clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, adjustment to life transitions, relationship issues, and parenting concerns. My therapeutic style is collaborative, person-centered, and solution focused.
I am friendly, passionate, optimistic, and show up authentically in the therapy room. I frequently use a psychodynamic approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT/DBT/ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.

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.
