I am licensed in North Carolina with over 9 years of professional clinical work. I have experience in helping people with stress and anxiety, intimacy related issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & coping with life changes. It's important to me to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

About online counseling

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.
