If you are feeling overwhelmed by a major life transition, struggling with patterns of co-dependency, or searching for a deeper sense of meaning, I am glad you are here. As a therapist partnering with adults and couples for over 30 years, I believe deeply that you are the expert on your own life and relationships. My role is not to judge, but to help you explore what truly aligns with your values and personal truths.
In our sessions, we will use practical tools like CBT to navigate your immediate, day-to-day challenges. However, the most transformative work happens in depth therapy. Together, we will look beneath the surface to address difficult questions, heal core wounds, and build a fulfilling life as you define it. When you are ready to take the next step, please reach out—I am gratefully here to support you on your journey.

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.
