I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's challenges. My work has centered on helping clients navigate stress and anxiety with practical, evidence-based approaches tailored to their unique needs.
I bring a grounded, straightforward perspective to therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to identify what's working and what needs to shift, always respecting your values and worldview. My style is direct and focused—I believe in meeting you where you are and building toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
Throughout my career, I've developed strong skills in helping people manage overwhelming emotions, build resilience, and create sustainable coping strategies. I'm committed to creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as you work toward greater peace and clarity.
If you're ready to take that important step toward feeling better, I'm here to walk alongside you with honesty, care, and genuine commitment to your wellbeing.

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.
