Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a licensed mental health counselor and substance use disorder professional in the state of Washington with 35 years of experience working in various community clinics, treatment centers, hospitals and private practice. I am also a geriatric mental health specialist. I have worked with hundreds of people with a wide variety of concerns, including addiction/recovery, depression, anxiety, PTSD, stress management, family systems, codependency, self-esteem, relationships of all types, grief and loss, and issues related to abuse and trauma.
My intention with each client is to be warm, kind, respectful and a good listener. I endeavor to hear the unspoken heart-messages that are sometimes underneath the words. My counseling style is eclectic and I draw from many schools of therapy, always attempting to be fully present and meet each client where they are.
I look forward to meeting and working with you!

For many common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes – online therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Research and clinical practice support its use for these types of issues, and many people find comparable benefits from remote care.
One of the clear advantages is flexibility. Clients can connect with their therapist in the format that fits best for them – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and if someone decides they would prefer a different therapeutic fit they can switch to another therapist at any time. For many people, the combination of effectiveness and convenience makes online therapy a practical option to consider.
