- Psychologist
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. Over the course of my career, I've worked with diverse populations and developed a deep commitment to creating a safe, welcoming space for all clients.
My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a genuine desire to understand your unique story. I believe that therapy works best when it's collaborative—where you feel heard, valued, and supported as you navigate your own path forward.
I'm honored by the trust my clients place in me, and I'm committed to walking alongside you with care and authenticity as you work toward meaningful growth and healing.

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.
