Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
As a marriage and family therapist licensed in California with 10 years of experience, I’ve worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, trauma, and life transitions. I have worked with clients who have experienced domestic violence, emotional abuse, and sexual assault.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. A foundational principle in my practice is that everyone is treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, Gestalt and trauma-focused counseling. I tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to work toward a more fulfilling and happier life. The first steps towards a change are often the hardest. If you are ready to take that step, I’m here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
A major benefit of remote sessions is flexibility. Individuals can connect with therapists in the format that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules.
All therapists are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. For many, online therapy offers an accessible and practical route to consistent support for everyday mental health concerns.
