Starting Therapy can feel intimidating and reaching out for support isn’t always easy whether you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck or simply looking for someone to help you through life challenges. I’m glad you’re here.

I’m a LCSW who works with adults, experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, burnout, relationship, concerns, life, transition, self-esteem, grief, and mood disorders. I also work with individuals who struggle with self harm.

My style is warm, supportive and genuine. I believe Therapy should feel like a conversation, not an interrogation. I want you to feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are the messy days the victories everything in between

I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy along with mindfulness solution focused techniques and strength based approaches. I enjoy helping clients understand how their thoughts emotions and behaviors are connected while learning new skills to manage stress, regulated emotions improve relationships and feel more confident in everyday life.

My hope for you is that Therapy becomes a place where you feel her supported challenge when needed and encouraged as you grow.

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.
