Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am licensed in Maryland and Virginia and have five years of clinical counseling experience. Prior to becoming a counselor, I worked in the education field as both a teacher and administrator for 15 years. I have experience helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, relationship and parenting issues, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I also have experience working with depression.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. I am here to support and empower you on that journey.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or transitions in life, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility – you can connect in the way that suits you best, whether that is a video appointment, a phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Licensed professionals provide care through these formats, and if a different therapeutic fit is needed, it is possible to change therapists. For many people, remote therapy offers an accessible and practical path to emotional support and growth.
