- LICSW
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's pivotal transitions and challenges. My work has centered on helping clients build confidence, navigate tough decisions, and develop meaningful strategies tailored to their unique goals.
I have a deep commitment to serving older adults, military veterans, and caregivers facing the stress and emotional weight of their roles. I understand the complexities of aging, the sacrifices made by those who've served, and the profound demands of caregiving. My approach honors the wisdom and resilience my clients bring to our work together.
I believe in meeting you where you are—with genuine respect for your experiences, identity, and perspective. I create a space where you can explore your strengths, work through self-doubt, and chart a path forward with clarity and purpose. Whether you're facing career crossroads, managing caregiver responsibilities, or seeking to reconnect with your sense of self, I'm here to support your journey with compassion and authenticity.

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.
