Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor in the state of North Carolina. I having been working in this field for over 24 years. I am fortunate to have been afforded the opportunity to work in a variety of settings. These settings include substance abuse treatment, mental health crises, domestic violence, critical incidences, youth corrections, individual, couples and family counseling. I have worked with clients who have had issues with depression, anxiety, stress and psychsocial problems. While I have benefitted greatly from these experiences, I believe myself to be most effective in individual counseling. I have taken the benefit of all these experiences and combined them to be the best counselor I can be. No matter the initial presentation of my clients, their issues tend to fall into one or more of the areas of my experience.
As a therapist, my theoretical approaches tend to be solution focused, reality based with an emphasis on how my client views him or herself and the world around them. I believe we all make decisions and exhibit individual behaviors based on what we perceive is happening to us and the world around us. My goal is to help my clients determine if their beliefs, as well as their actions, are helping them be the best they can be. In addition to that, I work to ensure that my clients have the emotional tools they need to appropriately and effectively manage the emotional ups and downs of life. As I see it, life is “a continuum of temporary circumstances that we all must navigate the best we can with the skills we have”.
My calling is to serve others, with the hope that I can contribute in some way to helping them make their lives better..

Many people ask whether virtual therapy can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is convenience and scheduling flexibility. Clients can choose the mode of contact that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Licensed professionals provide care through these formats, and if a client feels another therapist would be a better fit, it is possible to switch providers. This adaptability helps people access consistent support in ways that work for their circumstances.
Overall, online therapy can offer an effective and flexible option for addressing many everyday mental health concerns while allowing clients to engage in the manner that feels most comfortable.
