My primary goal for individuals (and families) is to assist you in minimizing distress and overcoming different challenges. Challenges come in many forms: traumatic experiences, difficulties at work or in our significant relationships, major life transitions, grief, unresolved family of origin issues, depression, anxiety, and anger, among others. I help my clients heal past traumas and negative self-perceptions to increase the presence of love and acceptance in their lives. I hope to guide you in gaining insight into your relationship with yourself and with others.

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.
