If you’ve been feeling stuck in cycles that no longer serve you — whether that’s anxiety, low self-worth, or challenges related to substance use — you’re not alone. You deserve support that meets you where you are and helps you build toward where you want to be.
I work with young adults, adults, and seniors navigating substance abuse, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and more. Many of my clients also face issues like codependency, grief, depression, anger, and stress — and are looking for a path forward that feels manageable and meaningful.
In sessions, I offer a space that’s compassionate, nonjudgmental, and focused on helping you regain your sense of control and confidence. I draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Therapy (RET) to help you challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier coping skills, and reconnect with your strengths.
Clients often tell me that they feel comfortable opening up to me & that I often believe more in them than they do about their own capabilities
Online therapy with me is a collaborative process — we’ll work at your pace, focus on what matters most to you, and build practical strategies for real change.
If you’re considering online therapy but feel unsure where to start, that’s completely okay. You’ve already taken a brave first step. When you’re ready, I’m here to support you.
