I have over a decade of experience working with adults, young adults, teens, couples, and families. I am passionate about helping others identify the necessary tools to become their best version and tap into their inherent power. I believe in giving people the space and vehicle to create their own meaning and narratives that work for them. In addition, to specializing in marriage and family modalities, I have experience working with members of the LGBTQI+ community. Life is a marathon, not a sprint— getting through the tough stuff is part of the process.

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.
