I empower clients to vulnerably connect with others so they can boldly and confidently face challenges in their lives. Even if it feels like things can't get better, I have hope they can! I take a very collaborative approach to therapy, we will be on this journey together. I'm so excited to work with you.

About online counseling

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.
