Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi,
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been in the helping profession for over 25 years. This has been a second career for me and the journey has been both personally and professionally rewarding!
I have taken a nontraditional career path to become a social worker. I started my first career in the entertainment business and then went on a path of personal introspection and growth to become a social worker. My myriad of professional experiences in both the public and private sectors have equipped me with a unique set of skills, a wealth of knowledge, and clinical expertise to aid others in developing life-long wellness.
As a seasoned professional, I try not to take myself too seriously. I see every client as a colleague bringing their personal knowledge to our working relationship. Clients are always their own personal expert. Therefore, my approach to therapy is always supportive and respectful and strength-based. Growth and behavioral health can only be achieved by working together from a positive position and the client making a conscious decision to want to change. This will bring about personal growth.
I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit is the flexibility it offers – people can engage in care in the way that fits their routines and comfort. Sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging, which makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they want a different fit. This combination of proven effectiveness and adaptable delivery makes online therapy a practical choice for many people seeking support.
