My practice is rooted in mindfulness and a holistic approach, recognizing the profound interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit alongside proven practices. I have experience supporting clients with relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety and executive coaching and career challenges. I treat each client with respect, sensitivity, and a personalized approach, crafting our dialogue and treatment to honor your unique journey. I love couples, children, and people of all ages! It is learning about your journey that fascinates me and finding the ways we can bring meaning back.

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.
