Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi there! Kudos to you for reaching out for support! I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in the state of Michigan and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Missouri, with over 12 years of experience working with people of all ages and backgrounds. I got my BSW from Oakland University and my MSW from Wayne State University. My past job experiences include medical social work in a hospital setting and home health. I have been working as a telehealth therapist based in Missouri since 2020. My areas of focus include issues relating to grief and loss, adjusting to illness, life changes, family/relationship conflict, stress and anxiety, self-esteem, and addiction. I am an eclectic therapist who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. I’m here to teach you coping skills to help you help yourself. Together we will explore your past experiences and analyze your thoughts to help you get to know yourself as much as possible. I will be your nonjudgmental cheerleader on your journey of overcoming personal challenges and reaching goals!
When I’m not working, I love reading, traveling, movies, music, martial arts, gardening, and playing with my french bulldogs. YOLO is my personal motto!
I applaud you for reaching out for support! I look forward to getting to know you and helping you live your best life 🙂

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can make a real difference. For many common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes – online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A major advantage is flexibility. Clients can choose the connection method that feels most comfortable – video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it simpler to fit therapy into a busy routine.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients can switch providers if they want a different fit. That combination of professional training and adaptable access makes online therapy a practical option for many people seeking support.
