I have experience working with a variety of people that present with a wide range of concerns. My primary focus for individual therapy for the past 3 years has been working with people in the LGBTQ community; including working with people with the following needs letters for gender affirming surgery, processing HIV diagnosis, gender identity, and non-monogamy. I also specialize in working with those that have a history of abusive partnerships and/or childhood trauma.

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.
