Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I have been in the mental health industry since 2001, working in psychiatric hospitals and the private practice setting. I have extensive experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults. I have a deep theoretical understanding but approach psychotherapy in a humorous, down to earth way. The growth and change process is difficult, but I truly believe that it can be fun and enjoyable as well.
My graduate program was started by the founder of Humanistic Psychology, Abraham Maslow and had a humanistic and transpersonal orientation. My education certainly didn’t stop after graduate school. I am passionate about this field and am constantly learning new approaches and deepening my understanding of the therapeutic process. I have devoted a lot of time and energy to becoming a better therapist. I am certain I can help you through your current struggles.
I am a Certified IMAGO relationship therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and North Carolina. My specific areas of professional experience have been working at psychiatric and addiction hospitals. It was their I worked with individuals struggling from a range of severe psychiatric and addiction issues. I also have extensive experience practicing individual, couples, and family therapy in my private practice.
My areas of expertise included working with issues surrounding emerging adulthood, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, autism spectrum disorders, spirituality, addiction, finding meaning in life, and dream interpretation.
My theoretical base is the person-centered approach of Carl Rogers. However, I have a truly eclectic approach as I embrace cognitive-behavioral, psycho-dynamic, focusing, relational, and spiritual approaches.

Many people wonder whether therapy delivered online can really help. For common challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or major life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as in-person treatment for most cases.
One major benefit is convenience. Clients can connect in whatever format feels most comfortable to them – video appointments, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to attend regularly and to fit care into a busy schedule.
Every participating therapist is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to change therapists if they would prefer a different fit. This flexibility and professional oversight make online therapy a practical choice for many people seeking support.
