Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

“What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.” -Buddha

Life can be challenging and it can be hard. With these challenges, it can bring feelings of fear, sadness, confusion, insecurity, frustration and even anger. Is there something or someone that keeps you up at night? Are your negative thoughts impacting your relationships and how feel about yourself. Well, I am here to help. I am here to offer a safe and non-judgmental space to help you work through whatever life has thrown your way-whether it be negative or positive. I would like to support you in managing and navigating your thoughts and feelings.

For 15 years, my work in mental health has surrounded helping individuals in the community. Over the last 3 years, I worked as a clinician in a behavioral health walk-in clinic providing clinical assessments and recommending behavioral health services for individuals. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to make change, improve their lives and fulfilling their purpose. I have over 6 years experience in working with individuals who are experiencing life transitions, depression, anxiety, family conflict, marital conflict and self-esteem issues. I am familiar with working with psychiatrist, primary care physicians or any other community agency.

Deciding to engage in therapy can feel overwhelming and scary. Finding a therapist that fits your personality and style is important. My therapy style is warm, compassionate, receptive and supportive to your own unique style and needs. I believe that you are the expert of your life-I am just a vessel to help you navigate where you want to go. I look forward to working with you and helping you become the best version of yourself.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people ask whether therapy conducted online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person treatment.

One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in whichever way feels most comfortable, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain consistent care.

Each participating therapist is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would be more helpful.
