- LMFT
I am licensed in California with 12 years of professional work experience. Prior to attaining my LMFT I gained value experience working in foster care, education and investigating elder/dependent abuse. I have experience in helping clients with depression, anxiety, family conflict/systems, trauma and abuse. In addition, I am familiar with recovery modalities necessary to overall wellbeing. I work to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

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.
