I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience in mental health and healthcare.

I've had the opportunity to work with a wide range of individuals and I am passionate about meeting you where you are and helping you move toward meaningful, lasting change. My background includes both clinical work and coaching, allowing me to tailor support to your unique needs and goals. I look forward to supporting you.

I like to take some time to learn more about your story and what’s bringing you here. We can also explore any goals you might have for therapy. My aim is to make sure this feels like a comfortable and supportive space for you, where you can share at your own pace—even when things feel vulnerable. We’ll work together to make sure your time is meaningful.

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.
