As a licensed therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's complex challenges, I bring a compassionate and culturally responsive approach to mental health care. My professional background focuses on helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, stress management, and personal growth.
Drawing from my experiences I understand the nuanced emotional landscapes many people traverse. I'm particularly committed to creating a welcoming, therapeutic space that honors each client's unique identity and spiritual background.
My approach centers on empowering clients to develop resilient coping strategies, rebuild self-esteem, and successfully manage life transitions. I believe in collaborative, strength-based counseling that recognizes your inherent capacity for healing and transformation. Together, we'll work to understand your challenges and cultivate meaningful, sustainable personal growth.

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.
