I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel seen, heard, and understood. I believe therapy is a collaborative process and value creating this strong therapeutic bond with my clients. I am dedicated to helping you build resilience, develop coping skills, and improve your overall well-being.

I combine practical, skill-based solutions with relational work utilizing a variety of techniques including cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and creative interventions like art and play in therapy sessions.

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.
