I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in California and certified in EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing). I have worked 6 years as a therapist and over 10 years in the field of social work and human services. I have experience helping women with confidence, life stressors and changes, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I am also familiar with military life issues.
I strive to cultivate an environment of warmth and compassion while using a trauma informed and faith based approach.

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.
