I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and build meaningful change.
I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and emotional regulation difficulties. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and strengths-based approaches to help you develop practical coping skills, gain insight, and move toward your goals.
I believe that therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I work with you at your pace to foster growth, resilience, and self-awareness. Whether you are going through a difficult time or simply seeking personal development, I am here to support you.
I look forward to working with you on your journey toward healing and well-being.

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.
