Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) working in Florida with 13 years of experience working full time in the mental health field and in addiction treatment. I strive to create a counseling relationship that is safe and accepting. I have been told I am genuine, encouraging, and direct at times.
I have a passion for helping others with a wide range of concerns including low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, communication problems, relationship issues, depression, trauma and abuse as well as coping with life changes.
With vast knowledge and experience in working with drug, alcohol and process/cross addictions, family conflicts, guilt and shame, as well as co-dependency and the integration of the twelve-step approach, I hope to assist you in overcoming your struggles.
In addition, I also assisted others who have barriers with anger management, control issues, domestic violence, commitment struggles and aim to help reverse a cycle of thoughts and behaviors which are destructive to self and within relationships through challenging irrational beliefs.
My therapy style is warm and empathic combining experience, and a sense of humor with a down-to-earth, realistic approach to the therapeutic process. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. I utilize different therapeutic techniques and I will tailor our sessions to meet your unique and specific needs including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
It takes strength and courage to seek assistance and ask for help. I am here to support and empower you on your journey of making positive changes for achieving a more fulfilling and happier life!

Many people wonder whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or managing life transitions, research and clinical experience show that remote therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that fits their life best – video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments.
All therapists offering these services are licensed professionals, and if a different match is needed clients may switch therapists at any time. For many people, the convenience and accessibility of online therapy open the door to consistent support and meaningful progress.
