As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have experience supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges, including stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and personal growth. I take a compassionate, collaborative approach and tailor each session to meet your unique needs and goals.
I work with clients navigating a wide range of experiences, such as social anxiety, life transitions, workplace stress, and interpersonal difficulties. My focus is on helping you develop healthy coping strategies, strengthen communication skills, and build lasting self-esteem.
I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help you better understand your thoughts and emotions, challenge unhelpful patterns, and create meaningful, sustainable change.
My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether you’re facing relationship challenges, career concerns, or simply looking to understand yourself better, I’m here to support you in moving forward with clarity and confidence.

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.
