Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I begin sessions with a person-centered or client-centered approach. From there, we may focus on talk therapy, use of motivational interviewing, counseling techniques, and learning new coping skills. BetterHelp supplies us with excellent worksheets and journaling activities. Please let me know if you would like a particular worksheet or activity.
My background includes counseling children and adults of all ages as well as an emphasis working with families during the childbearing years. My work experience includes helping clients living with a variety of symptoms and concerns. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek help in identifying needs and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support you in that journey
My skills include familiarity with Biblical counseling, Christian counseling methods, and I am happy to collaborate with clients who request these skills as part of our time together.

Many people wonder whether therapy delivered online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes, research and clinical experience indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person work.
An important benefit is flexibility – individuals can meet with a therapist in the format that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule and to stay consistent with care.
Therapists who work online are licensed professionals, and clients are free to request a different therapist at any time if they feel a different fit would be better. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible, flexible path to address everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
