I believe that therapy can help people to make profound and lasting changes in their lives. My approach to therapy is based in warmth, empathy, and careful listening. My goal is to build a relationship of safety and trust with you as I believe the relationship between client and therapist is where the power of healing lies. Fostering trust and a non-judgemental space is critical in helping to make a meaningful connection. Together, we can explore the roots of what’s troubling you and find a way forward to a richer, more satisfying life.

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.
