Welcome

I am here to listen to your story and work through the hard times together. Life obstacles can hurt but together we can work towards helping you overcome these times.

My approach to therapy is to be warm and compassionate. I believe every person is unique. I am here to be supportive of your life journey and help you create a better narrative of your experiences. I have an eclectic approach and use interventions/tools from CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Bowenian therapy, Structural and Experiential. I have experience implementing these tools in family & individual therapy, specifically with presenting concerns of grief, substance use disorder, OCD, Personality Disorders, anxiety disorders and depression. I have worked with clients to meet them where they are and explore where they would like their personal goals to be. Working together we will find the way for you to be the person you want to be and be confident to realize your life potential. I know it can be scary to trust someone new to tell them your story. I strive to create a safe and trusting environment.

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.
