Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a LICSW licensed in New Hampshire and Maine with over 15 years of experience working as a therapist, counselor, and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I have also worked in Higher Education for the last 10+ years, so I am familiar with many of the challenges of students, faculty, and administration. I am an Air Force Veteran and have spent time oversees.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines acceptance and commitment, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Many people wonder 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 just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main advantages is flexibility – individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best, whether by video call, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and if someone decides they would prefer a different therapeutic fit, it is generally possible to switch therapists. For many people, online therapy is a practical and effective option to consider on their mental health journey.
