  • LMFT

I am a marriage and family therapist who has been providing clinical care for over 15 years. I have worked with individuals, couples, families in all populations of people. I am able to work with people in all areas of mental health (anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, trauma, body image, bi-polar, family conflict/resolution, couple's counseling, etc.)

My therapy style of solution focused and narrative in nature, as I like to hear people's stories and how they have come to where they are currently. I have experience in using EMDR and other therapeutic techniques (CBT, DBT, emotionally focused, solution-focused, Bowenian, structured, etc.).

I am here to support you and help make you feel better in every area.

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.
