Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 41 years of clinical experience. I believe that therapy is a collaborative effort between the client and the clinician. The therapeutic process involves personal growth which can sometimes create confusion, or release emotion. I am careful to take the time to develop a strong therapeutic alliance with the client. This helps to work through challenges and road blocks without judgment. Empathy, compassion, and acceptance are the core values by which I approach clinical work, as these qualities are the keys to a successful client experience. I have experience working with mental health concerns such as Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Personality Disorders, and Co-Occurring mental health and substance use disorders. I use a blend of clinical skills during the counseling process, not limited to but including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Motivational Interviewing.
Whether the client is facing recent challenges in life or has been experiencing long term difficulties, I am committed to working to achieve positive outcomes in an alliance where the individual is seen, heard, understood, and accepted.

Many people wonder whether therapy delivered online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major advantage is flexibility. Clients can connect with their therapist in the format that feels most comfortable – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. This accessibility and adaptability make online therapy a practical choice for many people seeking support.
