If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or dealing with relationship stress, I can help you understand what’s actually going on—and what to do about it.
I’m an American-trained therapist and counsellor. My approach is both clinical and holistic, combining evidence-based therapy with a broader understanding of patterns, relationships, and life direction.
I don’t just listen. We break things down, look at what’s underneath your situation, and work through it in a way that leads to real, practical change.
I use approaches like CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, and Narrative Therapy, but the focus isn’t just on techniques—it’s on helping you apply what you learn so things actually shift in your day-to-day life.
I work with people who:
• overthink or feel constantly anxious
• struggle in relationships or communication
• feel stuck, flat, or unsure what direction to take
• are dealing with burnout, stress, or life transitions
This often includes people who have already made changes in their life—relocating, leaving relationships, or starting over—but still feel like something isn’t fully working.
You can expect a clear, structured approach—not just talking, but practical tools you can use straight away.
At the same time, we can look at the bigger picture—patterns, identity, and where your life is heading—so the work isn’t just about short-term relief, but longer-term change.
I aim to be consistent and responsive, so you’re not left trying to figure things out on your own between sessions.

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.
