Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello and welcome!
I am a psychologist licensed in California with over 20 years of experience. I received my BS in Nursing from BIOLA University. I was a Navy Nurse for 31/2 years and served in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War. I earned my doctorate in psychology from Azusa Pacific University. I worked in a state hospital for 15 years specializing in adults with a history of childhood trauma. I also specialize in relationship issues, parenting problems and personality disorders. My treatment approach consists of
Cognitive Behavioral therapy(CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Attachment-based therapy and aims to build or rebuild a trusting, supportive relationship that will help prevent or treat anxiety or depression. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Many people wonder whether virtual therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person care for most people.
A major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the format that fits their routines and comfort level, whether that is video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to maintain consistency and fit therapy into a busy life.
Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and if a client feels another clinician would be a better fit, it is possible to switch therapists. Overall, online therapy offers an accessible, adaptable way to address everyday mental health and relationship concerns without changing the core aims or methods of treatment.
