Do you ever feel overwhelmed with stress, hopelessness for the future or are struggling to cope with difficult emotions? As a therapist specializing in PTSD, depression and anxiety, I work with both adolescents and adults to help them process painful experiences and move toward a life of balance and resilience. Whether you’ve experienced a recent event or you’re navigating the long-term effects of past trauma, I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your emotions, build coping skills, and reclaim your sense of self.
Having family members with severe mental illness and personal experience with trauma myself, I am no stranger to PTSD, depression and family stress. I am comfortable and confident helping clients with a range of barriers to living a healthy and fulfilling life. I have been described as warm, relatable and a strong advocate for my clients.
Beginning therapy is a vulnerable process and I am here to help support you along your journey.

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.
