- LCSW
As a dedicated therapist with a decade of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop self-compassion, overcome social anxiety, and explore life purpose with genuine empathy and understanding.
I work collaboratively with individuals facing challenges like workplace stress, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and personal identity exploration. My therapeutic practice is deeply rooted in creating a supportive environment where clients can authentically examine their experiences, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal growth.
My expertise spans diverse areas including stress management, relationship healing, self-esteem development, and multicultural sensitivity. I'm committed to meeting each person exactly where they are, offering compassionate guidance that honors their unique journey and inherent strengths.
Through evidence-based practices and a person-centered approach, I aim to help clients transform challenging emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and move towards a more fulfilling, balanced life.

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.
