Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Welcome to BetterHelp! I look forward to knowing you and helping you to have a better, more peaceful and fulfilling life. My approach to counseling is relaxed – one person listening to and sharing with another – the simple, but not always easy, principles that make life better. A person can go to college, pass the tests and get the license. But a human being with heart, combined with past experiences can feel another’s difficulties and emotional pain. Because of the victories and tragedies in my own life, I can relate to the hardships of others. Most of my career has been dedicated to helping people with emotional issues that steal peace and fulfillment. My graduate research was in the field of spiritual development. Whatever your personal religious beliefs might be, I am skilled at helping you find spiritual solutions to life’s physical and emotional problems.
I have 34 years experience assisting people heal from emotions relationship, and purpose of life issues.
I relate to others, not based on gender, race, politics, or creed, but on the “the content of their character,” as Dr. ML King said.

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that fits their needs, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule and to access support from different locations.
Each therapist available online is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would better meet their needs. For many people, online therapy provides an effective and adaptable way to address everyday mental health concerns.
