- LMFT
As a compassionate therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on addressing relationship challenges, trauma recovery, intimacy concerns, and mental health issues with a deep commitment to understanding each client's unique journey.
I offer a supportive, affirming space for individuals experiencing social anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, and challenges related to sexuality, body image, and personal identity. My approach is particularly attuned to women's issues, attachment dynamics, and the nuanced experiences of those dealing with chronic pain, eating concerns, and family-related struggles.
Drawing from evidence-based practices and a background in yoga therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to explore underlying patterns, build resilience, and create meaningful pathways toward healing and personal growth. Whether you're working through relationship difficulties, processing trauma, or seeking support for complex emotional experiences, I'm dedicated to providing empathetic, personalized care that honors your individual strengths and experiences.

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.
