About Me

I take a solution-focused and strengths-based approach to therapy because I believe every person already has the tools within them to heal and grow. My role is to help you uncover those strengths, build resilience, and create meaningful change in your life.

I specialize in OAAT (One-At-A-Time Therapy) and SST (Single Session Therapy), which means I value making each session impactful, whether we meet once or over a longer journey together. I am also currently pursuing my doctorate in Counseling Psychology, which allows me to integrate the latest research and clinical practices into my work.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people facing a wide range of challenges, including sexual trauma, eating disorders, substance use, family conflict, and relationship concerns. No matter the circumstances, my focus is on helping clients move toward resilience and post-traumatic growth, transforming hardships into opportunities for healing and self-discovery.

My style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I want you to feel supported and empowered as we work together, and I strive to create a safe space where you can explore, heal, and move forward with confidence.

About online counseling

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.
