Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Trust is what is vital to a healthy therapeutic relationship and I work very hard to build that with my clients. Seeking counseling is one of the most courageous steps towards living your best life possible and I would like to help you on that journey. I am driven by the desire to help people through their difficult times and emotional issues they are facing. We will work together to develop an individualized path to help you through and feel better!
I have had the opportunity to work with many different populations and have experiences in various emotional issues: relationship issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, addictions, grief, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, military issues, attachment issues, suicidal ideations, self-esteem/ self-confident, coping skills, and many other issues.
I have many years experiencing working with families and spent over five years as a Military & Family Life Counselor working with active duty, National Guard, Reservists, and their families.
My counseling style would be described as welcoming, warm and interactive. I believe in treating people with dignity, respect, sensitivity, authenticity and empathy. My approach is holistic and based on evidence based practices. I respect your choice on seeking counseling and 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 difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person care for most individuals.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that fits their life and comfort level, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to schedule sessions and maintain continuity of care when life gets busy.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they are looking for a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible and practical way to address everyday mental health concerns while working with qualified clinicians.
