- LPC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience working with adults and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, minority-related issues, life transitions, or stress.
Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable - and also deeply courageous. I believe therapy is a space where you don't have to pretend or have everything figured out - you get to show up exactly as you are.
My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and respect for your unique story. I work from a client-centered perspective, meaning I believe that you are the expert on your life. As your therapist, I'll prioritize creating a nonjudgmental and welcoming space for you to explore and work on your goals.
To support you in your journey, I use evidence-based interventions grounded in current research within an integrative approach.
Therapy can be a space for self-care where you can take a break and breathe. Let's explore together what feels heavy, confusing, or stuck, and build a more supportive relationship with yourself.
I'm here to help.

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.
