She has been so helpful. I look forward to our meeting every week to regroup my thoughts and talk out my feelings. I feel like I can talk to her about anything she gives excellent insight. She has a wonderful way of explaining things so you can relate and use the skills in day to day life.

I provide a supportive and safe place to allow clients to share and express emotions about what they are comfortable sharing and the challenges they are experiencing in their lives. Some of the therapeutic modalities I utilize are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, Mindfulness exercises, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy techniques, Somatic Therapy techniques, Strengths-Based therapy exercises, as well as Trauma-Focused therapy techniques to allow for clients to identify triggers for abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, stress and trauma with non-judgmental supportive feedback to allow clients to approach the difficulties in their lives by learning coping skills to manage those challenges.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.
