Hi! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with approximately 5 years of counseling experience working with individuals. My main focus have been with individuals carrying dual diagnoses of substance use disorders as well as other mental health diagnoses. I have worked with clients managing addiction, depression, anxiety, family/intimate partner relationship issues, career issues, as well as patients who have had past traumatic experiences.
I am an empathic and dedicated counselor with specialized knowledge and understanding of crisis thinking as well as utilization of Evidence Based Practices in treatment. I strive to assist my clients through a person-centered/client focused approach in order to grow with different individuals on their unique journeys.
I believe each person holds the key to unlocking the mystery behind their stressors and I would love to begin paving the path to finding out those answers with you.
I look forward to working with you!

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.
