Congrats on choosing psychotherapy! I am an experienced and compassionate psychologist. I treat mood disorders, trauma and grief survivors, anxiety/depression issues, as well as eating disorders. I also enjoy working with couples and families. The work we will do together includes cognitive-behavioral treatment and person centered therapy. I bring empathy, acceptance and compassion. Oh yeah, some humor too. I truly enjoy people and I love helping them navigate their worlds. I welcome teens, adults, seniors, couples and families.
Just schedule a session to see if i am the right therapist for 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.
