Great to meet you!

I specialize in remote online counseling, making it easy for you to receive support without leaving the comfort of your home. I currently have immediate openings for daytime, evening, and weekend appointments, and I am committed to providing flexible, accessible care that fits your schedule.

My approach to therapy

My passion is working with individuals who are navigating grief and life transitions. Whether you are coping with the loss of a loved one, planning an employment exit strategy, making important career decisions, identifying your gifts and talents, or seeking clarity about your life’s calling, I provide thoughtful guidance and steady support. I also coach individuals through life-altering events, helping you move forward with confidence, purpose, and renewed direction.

What you can expect from me

I am also an experienced couples counselor. Whether you are preparing for marriage or are already married, I help couples strengthen communication, deepen understanding, and build healthier, more connected partnerships. My goal is to equip you with practical tools to become better communicators and lifelong partners.

I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. If you’re ready to take the next step, I am here to walk alongside you.
