Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with almost twenty years experience working with individuals, couples, and families. In my capacity as a therapist I address issues related to trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and parenting issues. My education and training includes a a doctoral degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University, a masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and a masters degree in Education Counseling. My experience has broadened to encompass social work, and in this capacity I have been afforded the ability to work with troubled teens and families who have fostered or adopted children. I work using the modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Emotion Focused Therapy. My area of focus is on the neurobiological effects of early childhood trauma and how this impacts an individual’s life trajectory and outcomes. I invite you to take this journey of self-discovery to awareness and healing with me.

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly 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 for most typical issues.
One major benefit of remote counseling is its flexibility. Clients can choose the format that works best for them – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals and clients have the option to switch therapists if they need a different clinical fit. For many people seeking help with everyday mental health and relationship concerns, online therapy offers a practical and effective way to access professional support.
