Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Congratulations on taking the first step toward a life change! It’s not easy to ask for help and I applaud your decision to do something different in your life. I look forward to taking this journey with you.
I earned my Master’s and Bachelor’s Degrees in Counseling Psychology from Towson University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and a Licensed Addictions Counselor. My experience and training have been in addictions counseling, community mental health with adults and teens, and in school counseling with children and teens. I started my career working in the school system as an addictions prevention counselor. I have worked in outpatient, intensive outpatient, and residential/inpatient levels of care throughout my career.
I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges. I also help many people who have experienced addictions.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach is often called eclectic; I combine cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, gestalt and systems theory to tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Many people wonder whether remote counseling can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions, evidence shows online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that fits their schedule and comfort level, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to keep regular appointments and to integrate therapy into a busy life.
Every therapist available through online services is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to change therapists at any time if they feel a different match would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy provides a practical, evidence-based way to address everyday mental health and life challenges.
