About Me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker committed to helping individuals navigate life's challenges, develop healthy coping skills, and achieve meaningful personal growth. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their concerns, gain insight, and work toward lasting change.
My professional background includes experience in therapy, crisis intervention, case management, and advocacy. These experiences have strengthened my ability to support clients through difficult circumstances while helping them identify their strengths and build resilience.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. My goal is to meet clients where they are, helping them develop practical tools to manage stress, improve relationships, and enhance their overall well-being.

My Philosophy
I believe healing and growth occur when people feel heard, supported, and empowered. Every individual has unique strengths, and therapy can provide the space to discover those strengths while working through life's challenges. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, or life changes, I am committed to helping you move toward your goals with compassion and understanding.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face life's challenges alone. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing and growth.

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.
