Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Every client has a story to tell and specific needs that bring them to therapy. Whether its a major life transition, depression, anxiety, trauma, or complicated bereavement, hope is a decision you can choose to form the changes you wish to see. My ideal client is a client who is ready to make the changes they need to live a fuller more meaningful life. I utilize a client centered approach which connects clients to their unique strengths while helping them discover the best versions of themselves.
As your therapist it is not lost on me what an incredible honor it is to hold space for people to prepare their mind, body, and soul for this journey. Positive change and growth hinge upon a trusting authentic client therapist relationship. I will help you explore patterns, thoughts and behaviors that are barriers to being your best self.
Having worked 16 years in the field of trauma, crisis intervention, victim advocacy, and severely mentally ill adults I have witnessed the best and worst of the human condition. I am privileged to walk beside you on your way to a sustainable path to healing.

Many people wonder whether connecting with a therapist online can make a real difference. 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 of the primary benefits is flexibility – clients can meet with a therapist in the format that fits their life, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to keep consistent appointments and to access care from different locations.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and if at any point someone prefers a different fit, it is possible to switch providers. For many people managing everyday mental health concerns, online therapy offers an effective, convenient path to support and growth.
