We are made of stories—stitched together by memory, experience, longing, and the quiet hope that healing is possible. My work is to listen for those stories. To hold them gently. To help you find the threads you want to keep, and the ones you're ready to release.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I’ve sat with people navigating the raw edges of trauma, the ache of anxiety, the fog of depression, the quiet complexity of ADHD. I’ve held space for survivors of sexual assault, for those untangling themselves from religious wounds, for souls reckoning with illness, identity, and the grief of what was never given.

This isn’t a space of judgment. It’s a space of returning—to yourself, your voice, your power. Whether you're arriving with specific pain or a sense that something inside you is stirring, you are welcome here. You are not too much. You are not too late.

This is the beginning of something real. Let’s find it together.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
