I encourage clients to improve their quality of life through the exploration and development of helpful life skills.
My counseling style is warm, supportive and nonjudgmental. I view therapy as a collaborative effort between the therapist and client. I believe in treating people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels.

Many people wonder whether virtual counseling can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that feels most comfortable, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and if someone wants a different fit they can switch therapists at any time. For many people facing everyday mental health challenges, online therapy provides an accessible and effective path to support and growth.
