Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a licensed clinical counselor in Ohio, and I am also licensed in California. For over fifteen years, I have worked with adults with addiction, anxiety, grief and depression. Many of my clients have experienced past trauma, family conflicts, and issues with motivation and self-esteem.
My vision of counseling is to come along side the person who is hurting to offer understanding and encouragement as you share your story so that together we can figure out a plan for moving forward. My counseling techniques emphasize behavioral strategies and interpersonal skills, while drawing on the tenets of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT emphasizes living and engaging in life according to your values so that you make intentional choices and feel better with the choices you make. My overall approach is person-centered, and our interaction will always be underscored by respect and genuine care.
We want our lives to matter, and we want to be important to those we love. Being seen and heard is crucial, and sometimes, just feeling understood for a moment is priceless. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to work with you here in this forum!

Many people ask whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One major benefit is convenience – clients can connect with a therapist in the format that best fits their needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to access care amid busy schedules or other commitments.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and clients may choose to change therapists at any time if they seek a different fit. Online therapy offers a practical option for many people seeking support while maintaining the same kinds of therapeutic goals and approaches used in face-to-face work.
