Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am licensed in the state of Florida and Illinois as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC. I have been in private practice since 2014, first in Illinois and currently in Florida. Prior to private practice, I worked in community mental health/social service settings for over 18 years providing a variety of counseling services to a diverse population.
I earned a master’s degree in professional counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in 1999 and recently completed additional graduate level courses in human sexuality, grief/loss, and trauma counseling. During that time, I extensively studied and researched these areas which provided me with additional skills and knowledge on trauma-informed treatment. I completed training for EMDR, Clinical Trauma Professional, Psychological First Aid, and FEMA – community preparedness.
I have worked with clients struggling with a variety of mood and behavior challenges including depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and other stress related issues. In addition, assisted clients with concerns related to parenting, divorce, grief/loss, self-esteem, relationship problems, social/peer issues, bullying, changes/transitions, women’s issues, and work/school/family related stress.
My treatment approach is from an integrative perspective, a view of helping people that is not restricted to one approach. I draw from a variety of approaches and treatments techniques including but not limited to, psychodynamic, client-centered, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapy, as well as an understanding of how our brains respond to stress and trauma. I work to integrate those therapeutic techniques that are most useful with a client’s unique characters, preferences, and individual needs, as well as adjusting them to one’s social/cultural context. I will work collaboratively with you and encourage your input throughout this process.
I am committed to provide quality care where integrity and trust are top priorities. My mission is to help one gain insight, self-acceptance, and fulfillment, as well as the skills needed to thrive and succeed in life.

Many people ask whether virtual counseling can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and managing life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person treatment.
One of the primary advantages is convenience – clients can choose the mode of communication that works best for them, whether that is video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule or to remain connected during transitions.
Therapy delivered remotely is provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and if someone decides they would prefer a different fit, they can switch providers at any time. Online options can expand access while maintaining many of the same therapeutic benefits offered in face-to-face care.
