Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a licensed psychologist in both Arizona and California and have over 40 years experience as a Clinical Psychologist with a specialty practice in neuropsychology/medical psychology. I am board certified nationally which less than 10% of licensed psychologists have obtained. My PhD is from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and my internship was in Medical Psychology from the Washington University School of Medicine. Both programs were APA-approved. I have been the Director of Pediatric Psychology for Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Assistant Director of a Family Medicine Residency Program in Scottsdale Arizona, and held multiple appointments at the University of Arizona School of Medicine in the Departments of Pediatric, Family & Community Medicine and Orthopedics (chronic pain issues) before retiring 2 years ago and selling my private practice. I was also Director of a large internal Employee Assistance Program for the hospital system (10,000 employees plus their dependents), for 20 years, and very familiar with life/work balance and corporate stress.
My therapy style is eclectic and wide ranging depending upon the age, needs and individual (or families) temperament. I specialize in short-term solution based problem solving coupled with informational/educational supplements as needed. I have always told folks there is a wide range to normal (I am extremely tolerant of different lifestyles and very non-judgmental) but if it is not working for you let’s find a way to change it up. I have also found all it sometimes takes is a 10% change to make a 100% improvement.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For a wide range of common concerns—including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions—online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person treatment for most individuals.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the format that best fits their needs and schedule, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to build therapy into a busy life.
Therapists working online are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they are seeking a different fit. Online therapy can be a practical, accessible way to address everyday mental health concerns while maintaining continuity of care and convenience.
