About Me

I take a solution-focused and strengths-based approach to therapy because I believe every person already has the tools within them to heal and grow. My role is to help you uncover those strengths, build resilience, and create meaningful change in your life.

I specialize in OAAT (One-At-A-Time Therapy) and SST (Single Session Therapy), which means I value making each session impactful, whether we meet once or over a longer journey together. I am also currently pursuing my doctorate in Counseling Psychology, which allows me to integrate the latest research and clinical practices into my work.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people facing a wide range of challenges, including sexual trauma, eating disorders, substance use, family conflict, and relationship concerns. No matter the circumstances, my focus is on helping clients move toward resilience and post-traumatic growth, transforming hardships into opportunities for healing and self-discovery.

My style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I want you to feel supported and empowered as we work together, and I strive to create a safe space where you can explore, heal, and move forward with confidence.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
