You did it - you took the first step toward a more enriched life. Yes, therapy can be scary, but so can continuing to exist day to day without fulfillment, fire, or clarity. No, we don't have to analyze your childhood for years in order for progress and steps forward to take place. What I will offer is a collaborative approach and meet you exactly where you are.
Are you struggling making connections? Having trouble getting over a break up? Do you constantly compare yourself to others? Let's do something about it. No more staying "stuck." Shake up habitual ways of thinking to something more meaningful.
I specialize working with anxiety, relationship issues, depression, and stress management. I want my clients to leave with a sense of empowerment and gain perception on how to live a different and more satisfying life. So let's stop letting another day pass by existing but not really living and strive toward some positive and lasting changes!

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.
