You have taken the first step in finding that inner peace that you have been searching for. Although you may already be self aware, you are looking for someone to help pull it all together, provide guidance, and solutions to your concerns.
Our thoughts and feelings are always valid; but I commend you for seeking out therapy to manage it in a more healthier way. I am a down to earth, laid back therapist that is here for you. You are the expert; while I am the guide.
I absolutely enjoy working with clients with concerns of anxiety, depression, life adjustments, family concerns and trauma. I believe that therapy is a working relationship and do believe that we should work together to figure out what works best for you, as each individual is different. I operate from a person-centered approach where our relationship and building rapport is most important so that you can first trust me to help you! However I am very eclectic as I may pull from different modalities depending on what issues and concerns you have.
We will work to process thoughts and feelings, create new coping skills, and explore different tools and perspectives in order to become your best self. My approach is laid back, non-judgmental and will create a welcoming environment that will help you during this vulnerable time.
I look forward to working with you!

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.
