I am a licensed therapist with over 30 years of experience helping clients of all ages address a wide range of issues, such as depression, anxiety, stress, family conflicts, parenting issues, intimacy and relationship struggles, low self-esteem and self-confidence, life transitions and personal growth.
My style as a therapist is both eclectic and dynamic, and I am committed to providing an environment that is safe, comfortable and free of judgment or labeling. It takes a great deal of courage to address one's own struggles in order to achieve a more fulfilling and happier life, and I am committed to supporting and empowering my clients in that endeavor.

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.
