Do you find it hard to manage your emotions or moods sometimes? Does it feel like your relationships, work, or just life in general, are tougher than they should be? Maybe you’re dealing with overwhelming thoughts, impulsive actions, or you feel stuck in cycles of anxiety and depression.

Whether it's a struggle to cope or just feeling off, you’re not alone. Let’s work through it together. My passion? Turning the tangles of the mind into a clearer path forward. And when I'm not decoding the human psyche, I'm creating tales of murder and comedy where mannequins aren't just window dressing—they're the main suspects in my latest fiction novel.

My downtime involves strategizing world domination with my Russian Blue cats, painting, doing diamond art, and hanging out with my friends and family. I've been married 13 years and have a wonderful daughter we adopted from foster care!

At this time, I see individual clients ages 25 and up only.

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.
