Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have provided case management services, group therapy sessions, individual therapy sessions, therapy at school, and tele-health services. Additionally, I have even served as an in-home therapist providing mental health services in the home. I have worked with clients from a broad range of concerns including: trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, family dynamic distresses, poor communication styles, and emotional abuse.
My counseling technique is very caring, encouraging, and client centered. I am very candid and direct when providing therapy. I take pride in demonstrating compassion and being sensitive and thoughtful of the needs of others. More than anything, I strongly believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity.
It takes a great deal of courage to seek professional help and even more courage to implement change. I applaud you for taking the first step. I would love the opportunity to begin this journey with you in taking the next steps to begin living a more rewarding and self-empowered lifestyle. It would be an honor to help guide you along the way.
I look forward to working with you.

Many people wonder whether remote counseling can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions, online therapy is often as effective as in-person care.
One clear benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that fits their schedules and comfort level, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain consistency and integrate therapy into a busy life.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and individuals have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. For many people, remote therapy provides a practical and effective path to support and growth.
