I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 15 years of professional experience as an educator, therapist, and former non-profit leader. As an LMFT, when working with individuals, couples, and families, I pay attention to all the relationships you have with those around you, your family of origin, sociocultural factors, your religious, faith, and/or spiritual practices, and a variety of other things that make you who you are and impact how you move about your daily life. I work with clients on a variety of presenting problems including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, racial trauma, grief and loss, life changes, and so much more. I am committed to working collaboratively with you to set and achieve goals that utilize your strengths to help you live a more satisfying life. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, experiencing a life change, or struggling in your various relationships, I can support you along your journey through high-quality, culturally relevant therapy. Together, we'll create a space of healing that will support you in learning and enhancing your skills to deal with life and relationships. I look forward to empowering you on your journey towards growth, healing, and living your best life!

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.
