Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may find yourself struggling with anxiety, stress, difficult emotions, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.

I believe therapy is a space where you can feel emotionally safe, heard, understood, and supported while learning practical tools to create meaningful change. Together, we will explore the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and actions to better understand what may be contributing to the challenges you are experiencing.

My goal is to help you develop effective skills to manage anxiety, improve your mood, cope with stress, set healthy boundaries, strengthen self-love and self-compassion.

I take a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental approach and believe that healing begins when you feel safe enough to be yourself. Whether you are seeking relief from overwhelming emotions or looking to better understand yourself and create healthier patterns, I am here to support and guide you on your journey toward greater balance, resilience, emotional well-being, and a more fulfilling life.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
