Welcome! I’m a licensed therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and work toward personal growth and emotional well-being.
I strive to create a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to each individual’s unique needs, goals, and experiences.
I work with individuals experiencing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem. Together, we can explore your concerns, identify helpful coping strategies, and develop practical tools to support your personal growth.
I believe therapy is a journey, and everyone deserves to feel supported along the way. I look forward to working with you and helping you take meaningful steps toward your goals.

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.
