I am a licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), as well as a Certified Health and Wellness Coach. I believe each of us is unique with our own perspectives and lifestyles, thus treating each other with the utmost respect, sensitivity, and compassion. It takes courage to seek out therapy to create a more fulfilling and happier life, and you taking these first steps is so commendable. I'm here to support and empower you in that journey. You are the expert of your life, I'm here to help you identify and clarify the areas that are blocking your success, and we will figure out the next steps that are a natural fit for you. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life challenges and life transitions with relationships (family, friends, and professional), including conflicts, trauma, abuse, coping with all aspects of grief, coping with loss: i.e., a loved one, career, and leaving current home to new locations. I have a strong specialization in assisting individuals in increasing self-esteem and confidence, which encompasses symptoms of anxiety, depression, fear of change. I look forward to meeting you exactly where you are at.

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.
