- LMHC
I'm a therapist with over 35 years of extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Throughout my career, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. I also have specialized knowledge in supporting those with ADHD.
My approach is grounded in compassion, empathy and a deep commitment to understanding each person's unique story. I believe that healing happens in a space where you feel truly heard and respected. I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you build insight, develop coping skills, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace.
Whether you're working through past trauma, managing overwhelming emotions, or seeking to strengthen your sense of self, I'm here to walk alongside you with care and genuine support. I'm honored to be part of your healing journey, and I recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy.

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.
