Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Do you have difficulties ‘needing to be perfect” or not feeling “good enough” . You are not alone. I am a licensed professional with over 20 years experience providing therapy services to couples and individuals with a variety of problems. I believe most people go through a period of their life that is too difficult to handle alone or a problem that has gone on too long and that is a time professional help can provide the impetus to get through the problem or issue. I have a passion for working with people who feel they are not “good enough” or have perfectionism issues. I have also worked with people with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, problems with self confidence or self esteem, problems related to alcohol or drug issues and relationship problems. I use a variety of methods from CBT and DBT to Solution Focused therapy to a more Psychodynamic approach. I match my approach with each individual to work together to get the best results. I approach therapy as a curious listener who works with clients to remove barriers keeping them from being the person they want to be.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether virtual sessions can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, research and practice show that online therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person work. One major advantage is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that fits their life, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to keep regular appointments and integrate therapy into a busy schedule. Licensed professionals offer online services, and if someone decides they need a different fit, it is possible to switch therapists. For many people seeking help with everyday mental health concerns, online therapy provides an accessible and effective option.
