Hi, I’m Anthony. I believe therapy can be a place where you feel understood, accepted, and supported as you grow into a fuller version of yourself. My style is warm, creative, reflective, and grounded. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, patterns, emotions, and strengths with curiosity and care.
I work well with people who are seeking more self-awareness, self-acceptance, and meaning in their lives. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, more compassionate toward your story, and more confident in the way you move through the world.
You don’t have to become someone else. You get to become more fully yourself.

About online counseling

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.
