I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider. My goal is to develop a safe, relaxed environment in which people feel welcome to share at their own pace. I look at counseling through a multidimensional lens, focusing on how all areas of wellness – emotional, cognitive, social, physical, and medical – impact a person. Working primarily with individuals aged 17+, I have a background of working with the following: depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma, body image, grief, toxic relationships, and the struggles with people pleasing/perfectionism. Coming from a background in geriatric care, I also adept in working with the unique emotional struggles related to chronic pain and illness. I utilize an eclectic approach – which often incorporates elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) – that is tailored to each individual client.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that fits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable.
Licensed professionals provide the care, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. Online therapy offers a practical and accessible way to work on common mental health and life concerns with trained therapists.
