Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am an independent licensed social worker.
I have been in practice for several years, taking some time off to raise a family.
I work with individuals, families and couples.
Depending on the specific situation I will use different techniques.
I am skilled in supportive therapy, a family systems model and a 12 step model. I have worked with and continue to work with clients who have a wide range of issues and my areas of expertise are working with chronic depression and anxiety, substance abuse and fertility issues.
I have become quite interested in the affected families of aging individuals and those those with health issues. Nevertheless, I still very much enjoy working with the families of young children and utilizing behavioral modalities to help them cope with raising their children.
I am skilled at working with clients of all sexual orientations,identifications and lifetyles
I generally meet with clients weekly or biweekly depending on the stage of therapy
I begin by collecting a brief history of the problems and any other relevant information as it is very important to know why is one seeking help in this trying time.
I attempt to form an alliance with whoever is in the room to create a space that will make everyone feel comfortable and able to share.
Goal setting is important as well and that is addressed and assessed periodically.
I look forward to meeting with you to help you in your journey of feeling better and living a happier life.

Many people ask whether remote therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is the flexibility it offers – you can connect in the format that fits your life, whether that is a video call, a phone session, a live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety can make it easier to attend sessions consistently and integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and if you decide you want a different clinician at any point, you can switch to find a better fit. Online therapy can be an accessible option for many people seeking support for everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
