- LMFT
I'm a Licensed Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps young women (20-35) untangle the challenges of dating, family, and work relationship. In our sessions, you'll find a supportive space where we uncover patterns, build confidence, and practice real- world skills like clear communication and healthy boundaries. My goal is to help you feel understood, empowered, and ready to create the relationships you want.
Sessions are warm, nonjudgmental and focused on what matters most to you right now, when you feel stuck and second guess yourself. Together we'll turn insight into action so you can move from overwhelm to clarity and navigate your relationship with more confidence!

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.
