Are you struggling? I specialize in depression, anxiety, and addictions. Reaching out is oftentimes the first step in regaining your happiness. My goal as a therapist is to listen, understand and foster positive change. As part of our work together, I can help you define your problem areas, learn coping skills, or improve relationships through the development of communication skills.

I will guide you in discovering effective ways to reduce stress, cope with anger, alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, and face many other life challenges. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy. My therapy style is collaborative, empathetic, and genuine.

It is my belief that a strong rapport between client and therapist plays an important role in the success of counseling. I strive to help clients reach their full potential by building on their strengths. You don't have to do this alone. So consider scheduling a counseling session with me today!

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.
