As a Clinical Social Worker who is licensed in California, I have offered professional support to female military veterans who endorse symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, trauma, intimacy related issues, anger, and depression. Through individual and group interactions I build a professional relationship with my clients while we work together to identify and move toward their goals.
I am part of a military and first responder family, and offer a safe space for you to tell your own story, gain insight into the "whys," and tap into the strength within you. Reach out today and let's try to lighten the weight on your shoulders.

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.
