Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I have had the opportunity to practice with clients with a wide variety of issues. In recent years my primary focus has been with clients with deteriorative neurodegenerative disorders( ALS and MS) life altering burns,bipolar disorders and chronic mental health issues. In addition I have treated helping professionals suffering from compassion fatigue. I have a MSW from Florida State University and a Ph.D from The University of Maryland in Clinical Social work. I am a member of the Academy of Clinical SocialWork( ACSW) and a Board Certified Diplomat in Social Work(BCD). My primary treatment modalities are Cognitive Behavioral, Behavioral Health Intervention guided by Evidence Based findings. I employ a process that provides alternatives to life approaches and strategies that no longer serve the individual by offering new ways to address life issues within the safety of a helping relationship.The approach includes problem solving and adopting new cognitive approaches to guide thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Evidence-Based generated findings add specific interventions that are productive in helping with issue resolution.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or transitions in life, online therapy is widely regarded as comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
One of the main benefits is flexibility – clients can meet with a therapist using the format that fits their needs, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability can make it easier to incorporate therapy into an occupied schedule.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals and, if a different fit is desired, clients typically have the option to change therapists at any time. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible and practical path to address everyday challenges and improve coping strategies.
