Are you ready for change?
Does your past or anxiety have you in a chokehold?
Overwhelmed with feelings of self-doubt?
Ready to break free?
We are living in unique times and the struggle is all too real. The good news is that you don't have to travel on your journey of renewal alone. We all encounter adversities throughout our lifetime and various circumstances, along with the uniqueness that exists amongst us, determines how we handle it.
Through collaborative efforts, you'll increase your ability to navigate through this thing called life and grow from "surviving to thriving". I utilize an integrative and culturally-aware approach to therapy, all while incorporating the strengths you already bring to the table. If you're ready to release what has been holding you back from living your truth and living life confidently, then let's get to work!

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.
