- LMFT
I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and other underserved, underrepresented, and overlooked populations. My work spans residential mental health, residential substance abuse treatment, schools, domestic violence and family shelters, and outpatient treatment. I specialize in supporting individuals with mild, moderate, and severe mental health conditions, focusing on anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, adjustment disorders, relationship and workplace issues, alternative dispute resolution, co-occurring disorders, and substance abuse recovery maintenance.
My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am committed to providing person-centered, culturally competent care that empowers individuals to achieve meaningful and lasting change.
Beyond therapy, I am passionate about personal and professional development and expanding access to mental health resources. Whether through workshops, training, or educational materials, I strive to promote resilience, healing, and well-being in the communities I serve.
Let’s connect to collaborate and create positive change!

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.
