Hi, I’m Dara — a Holistic Psychotherapist/Certified Nutrition Counselor, who specializes in Health Psychology. I work mostly with clients struggling with anxiety, overwhelm/burnout, high performance demands, or healthy behavior change (i.e., lifestyle changes related to weight management, type 2 diabetes, adopting healthier habits, etc.).
With mindfulness as a foundation, I take a mind–body approach to therapy, helping clients calm their nervous system, understand their patterns, and build routines that support emotional and physical well-being.
My style is warm, compassionate, and practical, blending evidence-based tools with practical strategies that fit real life.
If you’re looking for a therapist that works with the whole person and helps you feel more balanced and in control, I’m here to help.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

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.
