- LPMHC
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Over my career, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns. I bring a thoughtful, grounded approach to therapy that honors each person's unique perspective and values.
My work is rooted in evidence-based practices and a deep commitment to meeting you where you are. I create a space that feels safe, respectful, and free from judgment—one where you can explore your concerns openly and at your own pace. Whether you're working through relationship patterns, managing anxiety, or rebuilding confidence in yourself, I'm here to support your growth with compassion and clarity.
I believe therapy works best when it's collaborative. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and help you discover the insights and strength you already possess. I'm honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and meaningful change.

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.
