- LICSW, LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Washington and Colorado, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, stress, and challenges related to self-esteem and life transitions. I bring a compassionate, culturally informed approach to working with individuals experiencing workplace stress, communication difficulties, and isolation.
My therapeutic work focuses on empowering clients to develop stronger self-love, resilience, and effective coping strategies. I understand the unique challenges of navigating personal and professional spaces, particularly for those experiencing prejudice or discrimination. My goal is to create a supportive, affirming environment where you can explore your experiences, build meaningful connections, and cultivate personal growth.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I collaborate with clients to develop personalized strategies that honor their individual strengths and experiences. Together, we'll work to transform challenges into opportunities for healing and self-discovery.

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.
