I am licensed mental health counselor with a human-centered, holistic approach to healing. I have 17 years combined experience working with adults as well as children. I integrate mindfulness practices with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support clients in reconnecting with their inner wisdom and navigating life’s challenges with greater clarity and compassion. I have worked with clients on relationship issues, family conflicts, self -esteem, anxiety and life transitions. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
