Hello, I have over 14 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I am an LGBTQIA affirmative therapist. In addition, I have extensive experience working with people who have disabilities.
I am a breast cancer survivor which this is mentioned due to the nuances of enduring this experience can be unique and daunting with multiple stressors associated. I disclose this lived experience as it may be an area that you encounter where we can relate and move through the therapy process together.
I am here for you to support you in navigating your journey.

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.
