Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker in California with 25 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients in a variety of areas. I look forward to working with you to decrease the stress in your life. It is an honor for me to work with clients around issues such as anxiety, life transitions (new parent, job change, caregiver role), parenting stress, infertility challenges, and other areas that are important to you.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. The professional relationship we build is vital to the success of treatment.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I look forward to meeting you. :)

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.
