I believe in treating everyone with respect, empathy, sensitivity, and compassion.
My therapy style draws from Brief/Solution-Focused Therapy (4-8 sessions), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. It is a priority to focus on your strengths and help you achieve your goals. Taking the first step to consider therapy can take courage, and I am here to empower and support 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.
