- LPC
I'm a therapist with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. My work centers on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, and anger while building healthier communication patterns and deeper connections with themselves and others.
I specialize in guiding people through life transitions, intimacy concerns, and the process of finding forgiveness and self-compassion. Whether you're working through isolation, exploring your life's purpose, or addressing control patterns and body image concerns, I'm here to help you develop the coping skills and self-love needed to move forward.
My approach is grounded in coaching and therapeutic support that honors your unique perspective and experiences. I believe in meeting you where you are and working collaboratively toward meaningful change at your own pace.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm genuinely honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

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.
