Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Am I the right therapist for you? I would say that finding the right therapist is based on the “goodness of fit model”- whether my approach to therapy and personality are the right fit for you. So let me share a little more about myself, so you can decide if we would work well together.

Most clients describe me as authentic, friendly, nonjudgmental and down-to-earth. I enjoy what I do and find conversations with my clients stimulating and exciting. You will always get honest feedback from me. One of my personal values is to practice what I preach. I will not ask you to engage in treatment modalities I have not practiced myself. Health and well-being is the backbone of my personal life practice and is an ongoing pursuit of my growth and learning.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples looking to overcome personal challenges, such as marital issues, loss, and grief, depression, anger, family conflict, relationship issues, major life transition challenges, or spirituality issues. My approach is solution-focused counseling because it is result-oriented. I also use person-centered or CBT (or an integrative approach) methods depending on the needs of the client. I’ve spent nearly two decades in ministry-helping kids, teens, adults, parents, groups, and families navigate their unique situations, and I have been teaching counseling at the graduate level since 2016. I am currently a Military Family Life Counselor, with over 10 years of military service. I have traveled the world and embrace all peoples, cultures, and beliefs. I use a holistic, non-judgment and multicultural approach to counseling. I believe in working with clients’ strengths and support systems to enable them to meet their goals and I am here to journey with you and to help you achieve your counseling goals if you let me.

I graduated from Saint Norbert College, with a Bachelor’s degree in Communication. I graduated from Creighton University with two degrees: a Master of Science degree in Community Counseling and a Doctor of Education in Leadership with Emphasis in College Counseling. Currently, I teach exclusively at Creighton University’s Graduate School, where I serve as a Resident Assistant Professor in the Department of Education, School Counseling and Preventative Mental Health Program. I also have a private practice where I provide services to a diverse population and provide supervision to pre-licensed therapists, interns, and graduate students.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether virtual counseling can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or major life changes, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.

One major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the communication method that best fits their routine and comfort level, including video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to attend sessions consistently and integrate therapy into a busy life.

Online care is provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and clients may change therapists at any time if they seek a different fit. For many people, remote therapy offers an accessible, practical route to support and progress.
