I am a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience supporting clients through life challenges, stress, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, as I truly see every person as the expert of their own story. I find that understanding each person’s unique story allows us to create meaningful changes, and I’m here to support you on that journey every step of the way.

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.
