More about Cole

When you’re dealing with anxiety, it can feel like your own mind is constantly working against you. Maybe you find yourself trapped in a loop of overthinking, over-analyzing every mistake, or constantly bracing for the worst-case scenario. It’s exhausting to carry the weight of heavy moods, self-doubt, or a mind that refuses to quiet down.

You don't have to figure it out alone. In our sessions, we won't just talk about the problems—we will actively work on tools to help you feel better.

Because no two people are the same, my approach is tailored entirely to you. We will draw from Humanistic therapy to ensure you feel deeply heard, alongside CBT and DBT tools to help you reframe unhelpful beliefs and regulate intense emotions. We also use Solution-Focused interventions to build a practical toolkit of coping skills you can use immediately.

I offer a supportive, collaborative, and completely non-judgmental space to heal and grow.

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.
