Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Welcome! If you are looking into Better Help, you are probably struggling with something significant in your life. Finding the right person to help you is essential. If you don’t have a good relationship with your counselor, you won’t make the progress you are hoping to achieve.
I would like to provide you with some information about me, in order to help you decide if my experience and style is the right match for you.
I am a licensed professional counselor with more than 30 years of experience in behavioral health. I have worked in both hospitals and outpatient settings, with people from all different backgrounds who struggle with a wide variety of challenges. Much of my experience has been working with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, caregiving, relationship issues, polyamory, LGBTQ+ and gender issues.
Although it may be comforting to believe that a therapist “has it all together,” the truth is that therapists are people with their own challenges, on their own journeys, just as you are. I am still learning, making mistakes, and moving past them. However, from where I am on my path, I hope to be able to see things on your path that you are unable to see, such as obstacles you are facing and alternatives you could try.
I will treat you with sensitivity, respect, and warmth; first of all by getting to know you as a person, since you are the expert on your own life. You can expect me to walk with you through whatever difficulties you are facing and help you learn more about yourself and the way you interact with the world. Together, we can come up with goals and solutions that are going to work for you.
I can work with you in whatever manner you are most comfortable. I find it helpful to participate in video sessions so that we can read each other’s expressions and nonverbal cues, But I am also available to you via phone and text if that is more comfortable for you. I check messages at least once during each day.
Seeking therapy is not an easy decision to make. I know how hard it can be to find a counselor who you feel a connection with and I would be honored to work with you through this stage of your life.

For many common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or managing life transitions – online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Research and experience indicate that these types of issues often respond well to remote treatment.
One major benefit is flexibility. People can choose the format that fits their needs and comfort level, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule or to access support from a familiar environment.
Licensed professionals provide care through these remote formats, and clients may change therapists if they decide a different fit would work better. For many individuals, online therapy offers a practical, accessible way to receive consistent support while working on their mental health goals.
