Araby is wonderful. So validating, calm, approachable, and objective. She will ask the right questions that never make you feel threatened but do cause you to reflect on your experiences. And I’ve only grown in my wellbeing since working with her. I’ve not always had success with finding therapists I feel can connect with me in the ways I need, so I’m especially happy to be able to work with her.

Life can sometimes present challenges that feel overwhelming or interrupt your sense of peace or joy . My goal is to help you explore ways to be your best self using your own unique strengths and abilities. I have experience working with adults who have mood disorders, personality disorders, psychotic disorders, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma. I enjoy helping people along their journey to overcome obstacles and reach their full potential using multiple therapeutic modalities and interventions such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), SFT (Solution Focused Therapy), Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness. I am also nationally board certified and a member of the American Counseling Association.

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.
