Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
My professional background includes over 25 years experience as a clinical provider, professor, healthcare consultant, executive, researcher, and writer. My most recent publication “Grace and Authenticity: Uncovering the Authentic Self” offers a glimpse into the method(s) I teach clients to use to reduce their stress, anxiety, and improve their perceptions so they can see new opportunities and draw on their existing strengths to become who they really and live their desired life.
Learning to develop your own approach to working on your goals really supports the change process, healing, and overcoming obstacles and barriers that might be blocking your growth. Discovering the life that is meant for you is to find great treasure.
We will primarily use cognitive, psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, and systems therapy approaches to help you reach your goals. Growth is simple, but not always easy. It is always worthwhile. Seeing your self from a new perspective can change your entire life – I have seen this over and over, and I look forward to this is possibility with each new client.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly make a difference. For common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the clearest advantages is flexibility – you can connect with a therapist in the way that feels most comfortable for you, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and if you decide you would prefer a different match, you can switch to another therapist at any time. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible, practical path to addressing everyday mental health concerns and life transitions.
