Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting all individuals, but particularly those within the LGBTQ+ community navigating complex emotional landscapes, including infidelity, betrayal trauma, sex addiction, and depression. My practice also centers on addressing challenges like anxiety, men’s issues, trauma, and relationship dynamics, with a deep commitment to serving individuals from diverse backgrounds.
My approach is compassionate and culturally responsive, focusing on helping clients work through social anxiety, isolation, attachment issues, and personal growth. I bring extensive experience supporting young adults, exploring sexuality, managing relationship complexities, and addressing addiction and process-related challenges.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive, affirming therapeutic environment that honors each client’s unique journey. My goal is to help you develop resilience, self-understanding, and meaningful strategies for personal transformation. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are, with respect, empathy, and genuine care.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can produce real results. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that fits their life and comfort level – through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to attend sessions and maintain continuity of care.
All therapists available are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists at any time if they need a different fit. Online therapy can be a practical, accessible way to work with a licensed professional on everyday mental health concerns and relationship challenges.
