I am a qualified therapist with 14 years of experience: dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families build stronger, more fulfilling relationships — with others and with themselves.
Throughout my career, I’ve helped people build stronger relationships, manage anxiety and stress, heal from emotional pain, and regain a sense of direction and purpose. Many of my clients have gone on to create healthier connections, develop greater self-confidence, and make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.
Life can feel overwhelming—whether it’s relationship conflict, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns. I’m here to help you navigate those difficult moments with compassion and clarity.
My approach is personalized and collaborative, tailored to meet your needs. I believe in empowering you to tap into your inner strength and create meaningful change.
If you're ready to feel more connected, supported, and in control of your life, reach out and let’s see if we’re a good fit.

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.
