Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am licensed in Virginia with extensive experience in providing therapy to help people maneuver through life challenges, such as difficult decisions, tension from work or relationship stress, sudden major life changes, issues related to mental health treatment and so on…. I find connecting with each person just where they are at the time allows the process to unfold. New perspectives will reveal opportunities to grow and manage the ups and downs encountered in everyday living. If you are reading this, perhaps you have thought about counseling before, or maybe put it off, wondering if therapy could help when going through a hard time. There is the stigma related to therapy and labels like “crazy” if our mental wellness is not in shape. This is an opportunity to get to know yourself on a new level, to explore things yet considered, acknowledge feelings that have been avoided, and in the process gain a new understanding and perspective about ourselves and paths in life. While time is hard to come by and there can be limitations due to technology, there are no limits to seeking solutions. This may result in learning new ways to manage stress, understand yourself better, recognize how your thinking affects your reactions and emotions. I am very approachable, understanding, and eager to connect with you to work out a plan that will lead to specific intent for change, growth and success. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, so congrats already! I am here to support you along the way wherever you are on this journey…

Many people question whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be similarly effective to traditional in-person care.
One of the primary benefits is flexibility – clients can choose the mode of connection that fits their life, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to include therapy in busy schedules and during transitions.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists at any time if they need a different fit. For many people, the combination of accessible scheduling and a qualified therapist helps make meaningful work on mental health possible.
