You might be seeking therapy at a time when you feel stuck, unsure or overwhelmed. My goal is to help you understand the root of your struggles, to build insight into those struggles and make lasting change. We will accomplish this through collaborative goal planning, using realistic interventions as well as humor to liven up the "therapy room" to keep things feelings authentic and genuine. My style in session tends to be compassionate, collaborative and direct. I am here to both validate and gently challenge you. I believe that each person deserves to live a more balanced, flourishing and full life and that healing is possible!
Aligning with My Passion: After completing my Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Azusa Pacific University, I worked hard towards becoming the type of therapist I wished I had. Throughout my career, I recognized that my field needed more relatable and authentic therapists.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
