  • Female
  • Psychologist

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with many years of experience as a therapist, wellness coach, and self-help author. Please note that I currently only see BetterHelp clients on Saturdays. If this will not work for you, please seek out another provider.

I utilize a flexible therapy approach that combines empathy with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused strategies to help individuals work through difficulties and feel more empowered and fulfilled in their daily lives.

I have a specialty in women's health, with particular expertise in the areas of depression, anxiety, wellness and self-care, health behaviors, adjustment to motherhood, stress management, postpartum depression and anxiety, chronic illness/pain, and body image.

In my work as a therapist, I value my clients' own goals and desires for counseling, while bringing my professional expertise, ideas, and strategies to the table.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
