Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Michigan with over 25 years of experience working as both a school social worker and clinical social worker. I’ve worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, addictions of all kinds, relationships/parenting, ADHD and with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
My counseling style is sincere and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, empathy, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and strength-based counseling. I will 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 therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One major advantage is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that suits them best, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from home or other convenient locations.
Therapists providing online care are licensed professionals, and if a different fit is needed, clients may switch therapists at any time. For many people, this combination of evidence-based effectiveness and practical flexibility makes online therapy a compelling option.
