Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with over 7 years of experience working as a counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, domestic violence and substance use. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is friendly and solution focused. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client centered, talk therapy and crisis intervention counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can produce meaningful results. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care for most individuals.

One of the main benefits is convenience – clients can choose the format that works best for them, whether that means video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care.

All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to request a different therapist at any time if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online therapy can be a practical and accessible way to get support for everyday mental health concerns and life challenges.
