Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
If you are seeking online counseling support, you are among thousands of others currently struggling with depression, anxiety, illness, loss, trauma or other critical stress, whose timely access to care requires the flexibility of services offered by BetterHelp.
As a Master of Social Work, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have over 30 years’ experience working with families and children across numerous settings, to include private non-profits, mental health, social services and K-12 education. I have worked with adults around issues of abuse and neglect, domestic violence, parent-child conflict, intergenerational trauma, and other associated diagnoses, to include depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and substance abuse. I retired from public education as a Director of Student Support Services in July 2020 and am currently also rostered as a Resiliency Educator. The training curricula used in this work is trauma-informed and heavily steeped in the body’s neuro-biological response to stress.
My approach to treatment is holistic, strengths-based, client centered, and solutions focused. I employ several techniques, to include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness training, psycho-educational counseling, resiliency tools, and case management, should there be a need for advocacy or other community supports. As a clinical social worker, I involve the client in their treatment to ensure the plan includes their goals and desired outcomes. Guided by the NASW Code of Ethics, my personal style is non-judgmental, respectful, genuine and sensitive to the individual’s situation. I am very comfortable dealing with individuals, couples, or families that are experiencing a crisis, and strive to provide a welcoming, safe space to a diverse client population.
Above all else, the relationship formed during our work together is critical to your success and satisfaction with the services offered. I have found that using the video option during sessions is the quickest and best way to create a strong, therapeutic connection, and encourage my clients to use that format whenever possible. My professional goal for all is to provide clients with the skills needed to manage their current circumstances along with the ability to apply those skills to future issues. Everyone’s journey includes inevitable bumps along the way. If my strategic approach aligns with your counseling expectations, I’m here to help you achieve your goals.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility – individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that fits their life, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. That variety makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and if a client feels another therapist would be a better fit, it is possible to switch. Online care can make consistent support more accessible while allowing clients to work with trained therapists using a range of communication options.
