Real change rarely happens overnight, but unfolds one small, meaningful step at a time. I’m so glad you’ve decided to take that first step by reaching out and beginning your therapeutic journey.
My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and valued—a safe environment that allows you to explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Together, we’ll work at your pace, finding the balance between compassion and challenge, to empower you to make the changes you seek.
I have experience working with children, teens, and adults in a variety of settings, including community centers, colleges, and K-12 schools. My therapeutic approach integrates person-centered, cognitive behavioral (CBT), solution-focused, and strength-based modalities. However, I believe in tailoring treatment to fit your unique needs, allowing it to grow and evolve with you.
I especially enjoy working with clients who are engaged and motivated in their counseling journey. I have a particular interest in supporting individuals through perinatal, pregnancy, and postpartum experiences, as well as those navigating anxiety, stress, and major life transitions.
If you think we might be a good fit, I invite you to email me—we can connect and take the next step together!

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.
