I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and family of origin issues. My particular passion lies in supporting minorities and mothers through all stages of motherhood, helping them find balance, strength, and peace in their unique journeys.
I offer a therapeutic space built on empathy, compassion, and acceptance. I believe in providing a safe environment where my clients feel heard, valued, and understood. At the same time, I’m committed to helping you stay accountable, ask the hard questions, and work towards real, meaningful change.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my approach is eclectic, drawing from a variety of modalities, with a particular focus on mindfulness and self-compassion to help you center yourself and manage life's challenges.
In our first few sessions, you can expect to build a strong therapeutic relationship, clarify your goals, and begin feeling lighter as you take steps toward your growth. If you're looking for a supportive, nonjudgmental space to work through life's challenges, I’m here to walk that path with you!

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.
