Hello I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience serving diverse clients from various walks of life. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, other mood disorders, relationship issues including domestic violence and substance abuse issues. I’ve also helped many clients who have issues with managing their anger and impulsivity that has impacted their relationships and quality of life.
My therapy style is warm and collaborative. I want you to feel welcomed and most importantly heard. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and starting where you are. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, psychodynamic and motivational interviewing therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
Life can be quite challenging at times and it takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower 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.
