- LMHC
As a licensed therapist with over 15 years of professional experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop resilience and effective strategies for managing stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I understand that personal growth requires compassionate guidance and a deep respect for each individual's unique journey.
My therapeutic practice focuses on addressing anxiety, relationship dynamics, self-esteem concerns, and anger management. I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, build emotional strength, and develop meaningful coping skills. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I aim to empower individuals to create positive, sustainable changes in their lives.
With a commitment to understanding and honoring each client's background and perspective, I strive to provide culturally sensitive and personalized support. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate life's challenges, helping you discover your inner strengths and potential for healing and growth.

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.
