Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello and Welcome! I am really looking forward to getting started with you. It can take a big step to make that initial contact for some guidance and help.
My name is Sue. I’ve been a therapist for over 30 years and use a family systems theoretical approach when helping others through the issues and how those issues developed. I also use Cognitive behavioral therapy to guide people on making the changes that they want to see in their lives. Often it’s the patterns that we aren’t aware of that have an underlying pull to keep us where we are or keep us from making changes. I also help people who have survived traumatic childhood experiences that still haunt or effect one’s life that can feel debilitating.
Throughout my tenure as a therapist I have worked in many capacities, including developing programs, supervising therapists, running the administrative aspects of programs, such as grants, events, etc. I have lived in several places within this country from large metropolis to small town communities. I work with LGBQ, youth and young people, families, couples, career issues, persons seeking major change, persons seeing recovery from psychological trauma, depression, anxiety, and more.
I’m looking forward to working with you! Talk to you soon!
Sue

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can meet with a therapist in the format that suits them best, whether by video, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
The therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists at any time if they want a different fit. Online work can provide accessible, practical options for many of the everyday mental health challenges people face, while preserving the core therapeutic processes that support growth and change.
