My mission is to empower you on your path of restoration, growth, healing, and transformation, all while helping you stay grounded, focused, and driven. I help individuals, parents and families learn to fully express themselves with more confidence, make deeper connections with others, find solutions to break down barriers and to live a more authentic, meaningful life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
