- LCSW
I am licensed in California with 19 years of professional work experience. I am currently a middle school mental health worker and I have worked at the high school level as well. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with addictions, anger management, motivation, self esteem, & confidence. I also have experience working with coping with life changes. I have worked with children and families to provide parenting support and behavior support. I use creative modalities like art, music and writing if my client wants to use this type of therapy. I have worked in a hospice setting and have experience with grief counseling. I have worked with trauma effected individuals as well, and use trauma informed practices. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

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.
