With life comes uncertainties and stressors that can be overwhelming, and I’m here to help. As a licensed clinical social worker, I have worked in a variety of settings with diverse populations and various age groups. I have experience working with clients seeking support for managing feelings of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, and also assist in navigating through life transitions and interpersonal relationships.
My approach is flexible and integrative, informed by cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and solution focused therapies. I strive in building a therapeutic relationship consisting of compassion, patience, and warmth. Through this therapeutic process, I aim in assisting you in developing a greater sense of self-awareness, acceptance, and confidence, that can empower you to better understand yourself as you work towards desired change and growth. I also work with clients in exploring possible barriers and creating healthy coping skills to assist with managing overwhelming emotions.
I hold the utmost respect for the courage and strength it takes to seek support and I appreciate and welcome the opportunity to work with you.

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.
