I utilize a somatic approach in mind, body, and spirit, focusing on processing feelings in a safe environment and moving through them so you can move forward in creating the life you want.

I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, coping with grief, coping with loss, anger management, motivation, & self esteem.

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.

If clients want to work on spiritual practice, meditation and mantra practice I can help you with that.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. This approach is a practical option for addressing everyday mental health needs.

One of the main benefits is flexibility – you can connect with a therapist in the way that feels most comfortable for you, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.

Each therapist you work with is a licensed professional, and if you decide you would like a different match you can switch at any time. For many people, online therapy provides accessible options that help them engage in treatment more consistently.
