Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I have dedicated twenty years of my professional life to the pursuit of a thorough and complete knowledge of human behavior. My intention is to understand people who want to change, experience satisfaction, serenity and the achievement of personal growth.
As a Clinical Social Worker I try to cover every possible scenario one could imagine. Looking at multiple dimensions of you as a person, your environment and timeline, as well as how affected you have been during your experience of the different life stages. Supporting the process to find or reach your own personal goals.
I use a bio-psycho-social-spiritual assessment to help determine the areas in your life you need or want support. My approach to therapy is client centered, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing when appropriate. Most of my practice has focused on issues with trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and addictions.
I am aware of the technological transformation that has occurred in the way we live and communicate. Therefore, I have embraced online therapy as a way of providing relief and healing through therapy, counseling, coaching and support.
More importantly, my goal is to have a successful therapeutic relationship with you, based on a deep understanding of your needs.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most situations.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that fits their life and comfort level, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to maintain continuity of care even when schedules are busy or travel is difficult.
Therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would be better. For many people, remote therapy provides a practical, accessible route to consistent support and meaningful progress.
