Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am licensed in Oregon with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. My training and practical experience has been eclectic, touching on approaches including humanistic (relation-centered), action-centered, cognitive behavioral, narrative, and somatic. I also include in my grasp of any client appreciation for their family, social-cultural, and socioeconomic context. More recently my focus includes some emphasis on the impact of trauma. I have lived in Japan for 14 years of my adult life, as well as spent 30+ pursuing the practice of aikido, a Japanese martial art.
Philosophy and Approach
Every person has the natural capacity and tendency to heal and return to a healthy equilibrium. A person considering counseling is already making the first step of exercising that tendency. I believe that “loosening up” and releasing the many things we hold, particularly unconsciously, allow us to activate that capacity and return to, or discover, a healthier state of being. Top-down, this would involve uncovering our various thought patterns, reactions, and story that we have about ourselves. Bottom-up, it involves noticing and feeling – the various ways our body is in relation to how we are mentally. I hope to cultivate a relationship with each client to embody trust, safety, inquiry, and honesty, so that healing change can start in the therapy room and extend into one’s life.

For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions – online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. This makes it a practical option for people seeking support for everyday mental health issues.
One key advantage is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that fits their life best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That range of options often makes it easier to maintain consistent care alongside other commitments.
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, the convenience and accessibility of online care make it a useful step toward addressing mental health concerns and navigating personal challenges.
