I am a seasoned therapist with three decades of dedicated experience helping adults and teenagers heal from complex trauma and find inner harmony. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma, abuse, & parenting issues. I also have experience working with depression. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems to work on these issues successfullly. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I allow clients to set the pace of therapy and we work at a safe pace, offering you grounding techniques when needed. 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.
