Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
My ideal client is someone coping with mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and/or substance abuse. I specialize in Behavioral Activation as an evidenced based intervention for treating mood disorders and moving clients toward their goals. I also enjoy working with couples and families to help them communicate better and resolve interpersonal conflict in a healthy way. I’m a certified Prepare-Enrich marital/premarital counselor. I am a systemic family therapist, who examines all dimensions of my clients’ lives – biological, psychological, relational, and social – to help them grow in a positive way.
As a therapist, I am warm, empathetic, and understanding. I believe that all thoughts, feelings, and behavior serve a purpose. My goal is to help clients identify their purpose and then work to find healthier, more constructive ways to accomplish that purpose. I believe every person is unique and I help each client self actualize their full potential.
I am also a certified functional nutrition counselor with a passion for exploring nutrition and lifestyle factors that impact mental health. If you are seeking to improve your mental health through nutrition and natural methods, we can do a comprehensive assessment to explore this approach.
I look forward to working with you on your mental health goals.

For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions – online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. It can be a strong option for people seeking accessible, evidence-based care for these issues.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with licensed professionals in the format that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to engage from a convenient location.
Licensed therapists provide professional care, and if someone decides they would prefer a different match, it is usually possible to switch therapists. This adaptability, combined with the effectiveness for common concerns and the convenience of multiple communication options, makes online therapy a viable choice for many seeking support.
