Great to meet you!
As a Licensed Independent Social Worker, I believe prioritizing mental health is the foundation for a stable and happy life. Taking the step to seek help can be difficult, and I truly commend you for being here! With over 38 years of experience, I’ve dedicated the last five years to specifically supporting clients as they navigate the challenges of anxiety and depression. I look forward to partnering with you on this journey toward feeling like yourself again.
My approach to therapy
Everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach to care. As partners in your therapeutic journey, I prioritize open communication and mutual respect. I’ll be there to listen, challenge, and support you every step of the way as we work toward the stability and happiness you deserve.
What you can expect from me
We’ll start with an introductory session where you can share your story and what you hope to achieve—we'll figure it all out together! My goal is to create a warm, secure environment where you feel comfortable being vulnerable and truly heard. From there, we’ll partner in the sessions that follow to turn your personal goals into a reality.

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.
