You’re carrying more than you should have to—and you’re not alone. Whether you’re navigating the emotional weight of motherhood, processing trauma, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, online therapy can offer you the space to begin healing—right from the comfort of your own home.
I work with young adults, adults, and seniors through secure, online sessions. Many of the clients I support are coping with trauma, sexual disorders, postpartum anxiety or depression, or the often invisible mental load of household and caregiving responsibilities. Others come to me to process grief, miscarriages, infertility, or the impact of traumatic births. Whatever you’re facing, this space is for you.
My approach to online therapy is personalized, long-term, and centered around what works best for you. You can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where we move at your pace. Clients often tell me they feel safe, validated, and finally able to talk about things they’ve kept inside for far too long.
I use a flexible, eclectic approach that includes Trauma-Focused CBT, Family Systems, Somatic Therapy, Sex Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and the Fair Play Method to help address emotional and relational challenges. We’ll collaborate to find tools and strategies that feel right for you and your life.
Online therapy with me is a partnership. You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin—and you don’t have to go through it alone.
When you’re ready, I’m here. Let’s start where you are.
🔹Outside of sessions, you’ll probably find me crocheting, reading, hiking, exploring new restaurants, or planning my next road trip—I’m a big foodie at heart.
