Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
At times, it may be challenging and difficult to find and seek help, or even to ask for help. So, let me just say that it’s an amazing first step to find help for yourself and/or your loved ones.
I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor with 3 years of experience in the counseling field. I have experience in numerous settings working with a variety of clients experiencing anxiety and depression, Autism Spectrum Disorder, major life transitions, communication difficulties, etc. My therapeutic modality is focused on Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness techniques.
I want to create a safe place where openness, trust, and compassion is practiced throughout. Your feelings and thoughts should be shared and heard without judgment. I’m here to help guide you through your current challenges, explore any past difficulties, and work towards your future goals and plans.
I look forward to meeting and working with you!

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main advantages is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Licensed professionals provide care remotely, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they decide a different fit would be better. This approach can make therapy more accessible while maintaining the same professional standards found in face-to-face work.
