Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Are you exhausted mentally, emotionally, physically? Do you want to feel and think better about your self, your life, and relationships with others? I am so happy you are here and encourage you to take this opportunity to make a lasting difference in your life. As we enter the Fall Season, meeting with me each week gives you a very important reason to get up and show up for yourself. My availability is flexible, my scheduled hours are posted well in advance through the app, and available for evening and weekend sessions by request!
I am a licensed Master’s Social Worker with over 13 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, working in the field of Social Work for the past 19 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, personality disorders, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, grief/loss, effects of past trauma, disturbances with all areas of wellness, lack in motivation, stress management, anger management, OCD and ADHD.
My counseling style is warm, nonjudgmental, motivational, and interactive. I believe in professional behavior of respect, sensitivity, compassion, empathy, and confidentiality and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, dialectical-behavioral, trauma based – IFS, solution focused.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support you. Evidence based therapy approaches are proven to not only reduce and manage these difficult areas of concern but also work to empower individuals with support, gain insight, coping skills, problem solving skills, self control, and self advocacy to carry you on in your journey of life. I will dialog with you and together we will develop a treatment plan and goals for therapy that will meet your unique, specific needs.
I look forward to working with you!

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist remotely can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparably effective to traditional in-person care.
One major advantage is convenience. Clients can engage with a therapist in the format that works best for them – video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapeutic work into a busy schedule.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch therapists if they need a different fit. Online therapy offers a flexible way to access evidence-based support for everyday emotional and interpersonal challenges.
