Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Social Worker that has been in practice for 20+ yrs. My practice over the yrs has included working with teens, adults, and families facing multiple life stressors including past and present trauma and abuse. I have found that most clients are incredibly resilient, and find great pleasure in working with them to help them gain the strengths that they already have to navigate daily stressors.
While I use multiple therapy modalities, I consider my base to be Evidence Base Practices, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and or Strength Perspective practices. Additionally, I am trained in Prolonged Exposure as it relates to addressing past trauma .
I see my therapy style as “down to earth, patient and kind.” I am here for you, and you get to feel empowered to lead your own therapy.
I would love to work with you!

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility – you can meet with a therapist in the format that works best for you, whether that is a video call, a phone session, a live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule and to access support from different locations.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and if you decide you would prefer a different therapeutic fit, it is possible to switch therapists. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible, adaptable way to address everyday mental health needs and life transitions.
