Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
If you’re feeling stuck, unmotivated, frustrated, hopeless, lost or ready for a life pivot; you’ve come to the right place. I can help you find a way to live in accordance to your values and goals, by helping manage your emotions more effectively. Sessions will provide insight into how your own thought processes work and identification of where some of your thought processes begin, and how to challenge them for growth.
From practicing in the student counseling center at Moody Bible Institute, hospital inpatient psychiatric unit, private practice, and a drug & alcohol addiction treatment center, I bring dedication alongside my strong and varied experiences to help you or your loved one. Being a counselor means more to me than a job, it is an interest in the psychology and philosophy, but most of all, helping my clients.
Whether life seems difficult right now or you are noticing an area that needs addressed or explored, my goal is to walk alongside in your journey with compassion and professional insight. I use a variety of theories and approaches to fit each individual, and look forward to working with you as you start your pivoting journey.

For many common concerns—such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes—online therapy can provide outcomes comparable to traditional in-person sessions. Research and clinical experience indicate it is an effective option for these everyday issues.
One major benefit is flexibility. People can choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level, whether that means video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to maintain regular appointments and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life.
Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and clients who want a different match can often switch to another therapist. Online care makes access and continuity simpler for many individuals seeking support.
