Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am licensed in New Mexico and Oregon with 15 years of professional work experience in mental health and 20 years of professional experience in substance abuse treatment. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to treatment with my clients – after all, you are the expert on you!
My clients say they find me to be warm, non-judgmental, and validating. I am also irreverent and use humor at times if I feel it is appropriate. I am body positive and take a Healthy at Every Size (HAES) approach to body size and weight . I am also LGBTQ+ affirming and sex positive.
Some of my areas of experience and expertise are:
-PTSD and trauma, including childhood and generational trauma
-LGBTQ+ issues
-Veteran’s issues including treatment of combat and non-combat PTSD and culturally competent treatment for Women Veterans and LGTBQ+ Veterans.
-Depression and bipolar disorder
I have a bachelor’s degree in Politics from the University of California, Santa Cruz (2005) and a Masters of Social Work from the University of Nevada, Reno (2008). I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, and Motivational Interviewing.

For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or transitions in life, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. It offers a practical option for addressing everyday mental health needs without requiring travel to an office.
One major benefit is flexibility – people can connect with therapists in the format that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch therapists if they want a different fit. Online therapy can be a convenient, effective way to access skilled therapeutic support for a range of common concerns.
