Great to meet you!

As a mental health counselor, I believe that everyone’s path toward wellness is unique. I’m passionate about helping people discover their own sense of balance and fulfillment, no matter where they are on their journey. Clients often describe me as compassionate, empathetic, and easy to connect with. I approach each person with genuine curiosity and respect, creating a space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported. My goal is to empower you to build confidence, strengthen coping skills, and move toward your optimal level of well-being.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and holistic, focusing on the connection between emotional, mental, physical, and social wellness. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based techniques to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we’ll explore what areas of your life may feel unbalanced and work to develop practical tools that promote growth and resilience. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, ensuring that therapy feels both meaningful and personalized.

During your first session, you can expect a comfortable and welcoming environment where we take the time to get to know one another. I’ll invite you to share what brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from our work together. We’ll explore your current challenges, strengths, and goals while setting a foundation for trust and collaboration. My aim is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and encouraged about the next steps in your wellness journey.

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.
