Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi and thank you so much for considering working with me as your counselor. I have been a licensed clinical social worker since 1988, and became independently licensed in 1999. I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work.
I work with a client-centered approach, listening carefully to what you as the client need and what you already know works best for you. I have spent seven years in private practice as a psychotherapist, and I have worked in community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, and in veterans’ services. I work well with both men and women and I have provided couples’ and family therapy.
I have worked extensively with people who have survived sexual and physical abuse and with individuals dealing with a wide range of traumatic experiences, including military-related trauma. I have also worked extensively with women who have experienced domestic violence and who are trying to cope with the stressors they experience at different stages of their lives. I have a special interest in infertility and helping individuals and couples work through the emotional extremes that can be a part of the experience of infertility. I have worked with older adults who are confronting issues relating to aging.
My experience has been that no one approach works for everyone, and clients may need to work with different approaches to therapy at different times. Flexibility in psychotherapy approaches helps me meet the real-time, real-life needs of each individual. I have received extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and will use that form of therapy when it meets the needs of the individual.
I have helped individuals deal with depression, anxiety, difficult life choices, and relationship problems. I offer a safe space to be yourself, with acceptance, warmth, and the absence of judgement. I hope I can be of help to you and I look forward to getting to know you.

For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy can be an effective alternative to in-person sessions. Research and clinical experience suggest that, for these typical issues, remote care often matches the effectiveness of traditional face-to-face therapy.
One major benefit is the flexibility it provides. People can choose the communication method that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. Online therapy offers a practical way to access trained clinicians and to pursue mental health support in a format that aligns with each person’s needs and lifestyle.
