Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
As a psychologist/therapist, I want to work with you to gain the tools and strategies to help you move past the area that is of concern. I have been in practice for nearly 20 years, having raised three beautiful daughters and now enjoying 4 grandchildren. I believe that we must find the positive and the good in each day even if it’s small to give us the power and motivation to move forward. It is not always easy, but it is definitely worth it.
My approach combines cognitive behavioral, client/person-centered, solution-focused, psychoanalysis, trauma-focused CBT, and teaching individuals how to be kind to self by using healing oriented approach therapies. I will tailor our treatment plans to meet your unique and specific needs. When you are ready to take your first step towards change, I am here to help guide you toward a more productive life. Lets talk and begin a new chapter.
You will not be judged, but understood.

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can meet with therapists in whichever format feels most comfortable – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they decide another fit would work better. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible, practical way to address everyday mental health concerns while maintaining the same professional standards found in face-to-face care.
