Hello and welcome to you all. I know how difficult it can be to take the first step and ask for help. I am here to assist you in your search for well-being. Allow me to tell you a bit about myself professionally. I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in the state of California since1996. Besides my training in the family system, I have additional training in cognitive therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, depth psychology, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. I am also a practitioner and facilitator of mindfulness.

I am a curious person and I love to learn in relationships. My cornerstone in our sessions will be Dr. Dan Siegel’s triangle of well being: Mind, Brain and Relationship. I like to listen well to your emotional needs and gently guide your/our journey of self discovery. I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative effort of our minds, and I am grateful for the privilege you may grant me of being your therapist.

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.
