- LMHC
I have a Ph.D. in Psychology and am a licensed mental health counselor with 11 years of clinical experience. I've treated clients living with and navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and mood disorders, substance use issues, stress management, self-harm, suicidal thoughts and behavior, coping with life changes, and career challenges. I've practiced in a variety of settings, including intensive outpatient, community-based and in-home, phone and text-based, and private practice. I am passionate about providing counseling services that equip others to live authentically and healthily.
My goal is to create a safe therapeutic space that will allow us to work together to meet your needs. A therapeutic relationship built on empathy and trust will allow us to connect, determine what's important to you, and where you'd like to see change and improvement in your life. I seek to honor the individual that you are while empowering you through my compassionate, collaborative, and warm counseling style. I aim to help you develop tools to support your well-being. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral, and mindfulness techniques.
I believe in your strength and ability to heal and transform your life. I look forward to working with you.

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.
