I look forward to partnering with you on your path toward greater well-being. As a board-certified clinical social worker with 7 years of social work experience, I believe prioritizing your mental health is one of the most challenging and rewarding steps you can take.

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.
