With over a decade of clinical experience, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complexities of trauma, anxiety, emotional distress and more. I have worked with clients from all walks of life—adults, teens, children, couples, and families—providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each person's unique needs and background.
My approach integrates trauma-informed practices with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based strategies. Whether you're coping with PTSD, chronic stress, panic, or unresolved emotional pain, I offer a safe and supportive space to heal, build resilience, and rediscover your inner strength.

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.
