I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Over my career, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. I understand how overwhelming these struggles can feel, and I'm committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what's happening in your life.
My approach is grounded in empathy and collaboration. I believe in meeting you where you are and working together to identify what matters most to you. I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you build insight, develop coping skills, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace.
Whether you're facing a specific challenge or seeking support during a difficult season, I'm here to listen and walk alongside you. Taking the step to seek therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to be part of 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.
