If you are experiencing difficulties relating to stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma you may wish to have a confidential space where you can explore these issues and find a way forward. You may be feeling alone, helpless, stuck and/or disconnected from those around you. I will work collaboratively with you, to see your distress within the context of your life, offering a therapeutic approach best suited to you. Together we can build on your strengths, skills and resources and help you to feel more empowered.
Therapy provides a space to step back and look at what’s happening in your life, gain a new perspective, and learn healthy ways to cope and respond to challenges. I am committed to working together at your own pace, providing a warm and safe environment to understand what is bothering you or causing you distress.
I work in an integrative manner, adapting the work to your specific needs and the difficulties you bring to therapy. Finding the right therapist for you is important.

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.
