Reaching out for help in times of uncertainty and challenge can be hard. That is why it is important that a counselor meets that decision with sensitivity and support, helping to foster a feeling of safety.
I believe that everyone can benefit from having an outside perspective when attempting to navigate life's challenges. Sometimes having someone that can lend an objective ear makes all the difference. My approach is person-centered and holistic, helping people build their capacity for problem solving by building on their strengths. We work together collaboratively, combining your expert knowledge of yourself with tips and strategies I have learned from my counseling practice.

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.
