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, grief, and self-esteem concerns. I bring a compassionate, person-centered approach to therapy, grounded in respect for each client's unique values, background, and identity.

I'm committed to creating a welcoming and affirming space where you feel heard and understood. Whether you're working through a specific life transition or seeking support for ongoing struggles, I'm here to walk alongside you with care and genuine presence.

My therapeutic style emphasizes collaboration and empowerment—I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to provide thoughtful guidance and support as you move toward healing and growth. I'm honored to be part of your journey.

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.
