I invite you to join me in exploring therapy to create meaningful changes for you. We will engage in healing conversations that help bring purpose, confidence, well being and hope to your life. Whatever challenges you are facing; past trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, we will meet them together. I believe in your capacity for growth and healing.
As a cognitive behavioral psychotherapist, I help individuals identify and change negative thought patterns, learn new coping and problem solving skills and work with them to understand and use their strengths to lead happier, more fulfilling lives.
Empathy, honesty and warmth are the hallmarks of building the rapport necessary to the therapist/client relationship. I invite you to reach out to me so that we can begin building that relationship. It is my promise to you that I will never judge you and will always meet you with compassion and warmth.

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.
