Embarking on this journey together, we'll delve deep into understanding your essence. Through thoughtful questioning, we'll unravel the intricacies of your systems and behavioral patterns. Exploring your family roots will be a recurring theme, shedding light on your upbringing's influence. From discussing your sleeping habits to dissecting matters of the heart, no topic is off-limits, including the inevitable conversation about mortality. Our collaboration will peel back layers of your human experience, granting you the invaluable opportunity for introspection.
Research underscores that the bond between therapist and client is paramount for therapeutic success. It transcends methodologies, emphasizing the therapist's ability to connect with you on a profound level. I aspire to be more than just your guide; I aim to be your confidant, your reflection, and your advocate. While I can provide direct feedback, my approach is imbued with warmth and empathy. I don't shy away from addressing trauma head-on; every individual, regardless of past experiences, deserves healing and growth.

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.
