Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a licensed psychologist in California and Nevada with over 20 years of experience. I specialize in LGBTQIA issues, my pronouns are ‘he and him.’ I also have worked over 10 years in a psychiatric hospital where I gained expertise with dual diagnosis patients (substance abuse issues + mental health disorder). I was also fortunate enough to work in the adolescent unit of the hospital as well. I earned my Ph.D. from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. I am also an educator to graduate students and provide supervision as they pursue their licenses. This helps keep me motivated to stay current with emerging trends in therapy.
I mainly utilize cognitive-behavioral techniques as well as client-centered therapy. One of my favorite parts of conducting therapy is seeing diversity and being able to help those in all walks of life. I make no judgments and work hard to see things from the perspective of my clients. I see myself as a facilitator and I help my clients gain insight so they can tap into their strengths. Therapy is serious business, but I always like to use a bit of humor as appropriate. It is very important that everyone I work with feels valued and respected and I fully bring that to each and every session.
Thank you for your time and I hope to work with you.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person care for most situations.
A major benefit of working online is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that fits their life and comfort level – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to attend appointments and maintain continuity of care.
All participating professionals are licensed practitioners, and clients may change therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would be better. Online therapy offers a practical, effective option for many people seeking support with everyday mental health concerns.
