Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Imagine that little voice in your head telling you you’re not good enough. That it’s all your fault. Making you relive the worst days of your life. The intrusive thoughts that cause you to question your every movement and tell you to participate in seemingly odd behaviors – or else. Notice how you have tried so hard to make it go away, but you can’t seem to shake the feeling of being stuck. My goal as your therapist is to help YOU run the show. Not your inner dialogue, your past, or your fears.
I specialize in IFS, guiding clients to reconnect with and nurture their wounded parts in a safe environment. By utilizing EMDR for trauma processing, I help clients reclaim their narratives and build resilience. I also incorporate ACT to assist clients in identifying core values and taking aligned actions for a more fulfilling, meaningful life journey.
Each session is a collaborative process, tailored to your unique needs and goals. Clients often leave feeling relieved and empowered, equipped with new skills or fresh perspectives that transform how they approach challenges. This shift can open new possibilities for personal growth and understanding, helping you navigate your circumstances more effectively.

Many people wonder whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions for most people.
A major benefit is flexibility – clients can meet with a therapist in the format that fits their life, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to maintain consistency and access care on a schedule that works.
Therapy provided online is delivered by licensed professionals, and if a client decides they would prefer a different therapeutic fit, it is possible to switch therapists. For many, online therapy offers an accessible, practical option to address everyday concerns and support ongoing mental health work.
