- LMFT
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience in human services. My journey, spanning non-profits, clinical supervision, and diverse client populations, has honed my expertise in supporting individuals and families through various life challenges. It is very important to me that people feel heard and accepted as they are. Navigating the world as a queer woman, I understand the importance of providing an intentional and affirming space for people to be their authentic selves. I offer a curious and non-judgmental space where you can freely explore and make meaningful connections. Collaboratively, we strive to bring the unconscious into consciousness, enhancing self-understanding and fostering a stronger connection with your aspirations, dreams, and desires.

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.
