Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Life is hard and everyone deserves to have an outlet to talk about their feelings. I approach my practice with compassion, empathy and nonjudgmental understanding. With my holistic mindset, I seek to help people navigate stress, mental health issues and “life” in general.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have been working in the field of mental health for 15 years. I have extensive training in mental health diagnosis, end of life care, and Women’s issues. I am also certified in Trauma Focused CBT. I value anyone who is brave enough to seek help, and I attempt to help people identify their strengths in times of vulnerability and pain. I utilize strength based practice modalities, CBT, TFCBT, Motivational Interviewing techniques, Mindfulness and Self Esteem building to help people achieve their goals for wellness.
My hope for all encounters, either personal or professional is to bring something positive to the lives of people I meet. I want to help you heal, help you see your worth, and help you find a better future in your strengths and abilities.

For many 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. This makes virtual care a viable option for addressing everyday mental health needs.
One of the main benefits is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that fits their life best – via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make it easier to attend sessions consistently.
Each therapist available through online services is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to change therapists if they seek a different fit. For many, the combination of accessibility and professional support makes online therapy a practical choice for pursuing mental health goals.
