Have you noticed that you are feeling more overwhelmed or that you have become less patient with those around you? Has negative self-talk increased or have you noticed physical signs of stress and anxiety? Have you thought that maybe you need to make some changes in order to regain a sense of calm? If so, you aren’t alone and I’m here to help.
In my practice, I partner with clients to recognize how thoughts and feelings impact the way you experience the world. Clients are offered a non-judgmental, therapeutic space to unpack their feelings of anxiety, anger, sadness and/or depression and develop coping skills to help regain a sense of calm.
Choosing to seek therapy is a form of self-care. I’m here to help you continue on your journey of self-improvement. I look forward to partnering 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.
