Life can feel overwhelming when you're struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, eating concerns, or difficult relationships. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly about what you're facing and feel truly heard.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, strengthen coping skills, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
I have a special interest in helping people navigate feelings of guilt, shame, communication challenges, and life's transitions. I believe healing happens through connection, self-understanding, and recognizing the strengths you already possess.
Reaching out for support can be difficult, but you don't have to face life's challenges alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward greater balance, healing, and well-being.

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.
