Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I have a Masters and PhD in Counseling and Counselor Education, with over 18 years of experience in the field as a counselor, supervisor, and counselor educator. I was initially drawn to counseling to work with young adults in transition over the college years, but quickly became interested in working with people throughout all stages of the lifespan.
I believe in helping people to live satisfied, authentic, and genuine lives and strive to help clients set and achieve goals in getting there! I believe that the client is the best expert on their own lives, and I am here to be a sounding board for you as you consider what changes you want to make to increase satisfaction and success in your life. You will find my approach gentle, but direct, as I help you to identify ineffective behaviors and habits. I have experience working with addiction, anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship issues, identity issues, and career/lifestyle goals, to name a few. I am committed to providing a counseling approach that respects your personal values and integrates those into the work we do together.
I currently reside and teach in the Pacific Northwest region (Washington State) as well as work with clients in Illinois and Idaho.
In addition to my work as a clinician, I am a full-time professor of counseling, which allows me to remain current in regards to counseling best practices and resources, and am constantly adding to my own knowledge base, which benefits my clinical work with clients.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Many people wonder whether working with a therapist online can truly help. For a wide range of common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions – online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person care.
One of the primary benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that best fits their schedule and comfort level, choosing video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability can make it much easier to maintain consistent therapeutic work amid busy lives.
All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists at any time if they are seeking a different fit. Online therapy can be a practical option for many people looking to address common mental health and life concerns while accommodating their daily responsibilities.
