Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Are you looking for support in removing what is blocking you from loving who you are, doing what you love, and connecting with the people you love? I can help you develop more positive relationships and become more aware of what might be stopping you from moving forward in your personal and professional life. I provide an empathic environment that opens the way for self-discovery. I hope that you will feel supported and more confident as you take steps toward living a life you feel passionate about.
I approach therapy as a collaborative process, working with each client to fully realize their own goals, desires, needs, path, etc. This varies from client to client as I meet each individual where they are and base each contact on their individual needs. I strive to communicate with clients in a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate way. I also use somatic approaches such as guided meditation and breathwork.
My number one goal for all of my clients is to help them get to a place of more self-trust, self-compassion, and self-love. Wouldn’t it feel amazing to trust yourself so much that you don’t constantly second guess yourself, over-analyze, or question every decision you make?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is the flexibility it provides – individuals can connect in the way that fits them best, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule and to access support from different locations.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit. Online therapy offers an adaptable, evidence-informed option for addressing many everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
