- LICSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions and emotions. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and the complexities of family dynamics and relationships. My areas of focus include self-esteem, communication difficulties, life purpose, social anxiety, and trauma recovery.
I have particular experience supporting people through major life changes—including divorce, separation, caregiver stress, and financial concerns. I'm also passionate about helping clients explore issues around self-love, control patterns, and abandonment wounds, as well as supporting women through their unique experiences.
My approach is grounded in genuine connection and respect for who you are. I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your values and perspectives, and creating space for honest conversation about what matters most to you. Whether you're working through family conflict, parenting challenges, or personal growth, I'm here to listen without judgment and help you build the life and relationships you deserve.
I'm honored to walk alongside you in your healing 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.
