Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in the state of Virginia. I earned my Master’s Degree from the University of South Carolina. I have an extensive history of working with diverse clients experiencing issues with anxiety, depression, conflicts in relationships, anger management, and self esteem. I have also worked with people who have experienced trauma and/or abuse. I have worked in numerous settings including an outpatient counseling clinic, hospitals, a residential program, and an emergency shelter.
I believe in treating all people with respect and kindness and I provide counseling without judgment. I will treat you as an individual to meet your specific needs and goals. I believe that building a trusting relationship with your counselor is imperative in working to create change, and I will spend time to build a solid connection with you. I utilize cognitive-behavioral, solutions focused, and dialectical behavioral techniques.
I am here to support you in your goals in working towards the change you seek to make. I look forward to working with you!

Many people wonder whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that fits them best, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain consistent care.
Therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch therapists at any time if they need a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible, effective option to address everyday mental health and life challenges.
