Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Sometimes life is hard. “Things fall apart, the center cannot hold,” the poet tells us. But we do not have to go it alone.
My primary role is to come alongside you as you journey in the way of wellness. I really believe in the strength that is in you. And I believe that we can work together to leverage it toward your goals. I believe that you are unique and will relate to you accordingly.
I have been practicing counseling for 16 years in a variety of capacities and settings. My approach is collaborative, eclectic, and solution-focused. My style is calm and conversational. I utilize a variety of interventions, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Behavioral Activation.
I work with people with a wide range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, and mood disturbances. I also have a strong interest in spiritual issues, and am happy to work with people of faith, or people struggling with faith-related issues.
I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work in 2004 from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, OK, and a Master’s in Social Work in 2009 from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Hawaii.
I am a parent of four girls, a lifelong musician, a bread baker, gardener, lover of forests and baseball. I ride my bike when I can and sometimes do experiments in my kitchen (some of which do not end well).

Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can actually help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions for most of these issues.
One of the main benefits is flexibility – individuals can connect in the format that fits their life, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to maintain regular sessions and integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
Therapists who provide online care are licensed professionals, and clients are free to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. For many people, remote therapy offers an accessible and effective option to address everyday mental health and life concerns.
