She has provided therapy for 23 years, supporting individuals, couples, and families as they pursue mental clarity, healing, and practical solutions to life’s challenges.

For clients who request spiritual guidance, she incorporates faith-based elements that reflect her Christian perspective and emphasize resilience, purpose, and hope rooted in Christ.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?


Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable to traditional in-person sessions in effectiveness for most individuals.

A major benefit is flexibility. People can choose the format that best fits their needs and comfort level - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and everyday life.

Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. For many, the combination of clinical expertise and flexible access makes online therapy a practical, effective way to pursue mental health support.
