When we face emotional distress, it is common for us to feel hopeless and "stuck". My passion is helping people break free from emotional anguish -- such as depression, anxiety, and past trauma -- to find peace, wellness, and the ability to move forward in life.
In a nonjudgmental environment, I help my clients develop effective coping skills and healthy perceptions of themselves. In addition to three years in private practice, my background includes 10 years working with children, teens, and their families as a School Counselor. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for trauma.

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.
