Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Missouri. For over ten years, I have been offering counseling and life coaching services to individuals, couples, and families. Some of my specializations include working with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, emotional trauma, work-related problems, arousal dysregulation, OCD issues, self-sabotaging thought processes, clinical mental health issues, career struggles, and many other significant life challenges. As a mental health specialist and performance consultant, I also enjoy the challenge of working with athletes, businessmen/women, musicians, teachers, artists, and members of the military forces.
My professional orientation centers on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and solution-focused counseling. I believe that therapy is much like a beautiful choreographed dance step. Client and counselor work together to achieve success through a reciprocal relationship built upon respect, trust, and positivity. Entering into the counseling relationship takes extraordinary courage and strength of character. I pride my practice on being welcoming, positive, genuine, and client-centered. This responsibility to help my clients is a sacred trust not taken lightly.
Counseling sessions are generally a combination of talk therapy, discussion, problem-solving exercises, and experiential activities designed specifically to help each client overcome their unique challenges. Some of the tools used in the counseling process include mindfulness training, cognitive reframing, goal setting, positive self-talk, communication skill building, introspection, motivational interviewing, and traditional narrative discourse. In addition to the more traditional approaches, I carry specializations and certifications in performance psychology, clinical hypnotherapy, wellness coaching, and career counseling. I have spent many years living in Europe, Asia, and North America. As such, I enjoy the opportunity to work with clients from very diverse backgrounds.
I truly look forward to working beside you through the counseling relationship. I truly count it as an honor and a privilege to share your life experience.

For many common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions – online therapy can be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that best suits their routine and comfort level – whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit regular care into busy schedules.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online therapy offers an accessible option for addressing everyday mental health concerns while accommodating individual needs and lifestyles.
