Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi! I’m Ty! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and have been working in the mental health field for 17 years. I have a wide range of experience, counseling adolescents and adults, as well as conducting marriage and family therapy. I have extensive training and experience in the areas of mood and personality disorders, trauma, and addiction. I have a keen understanding of how these, as well as other life issues impact an individual and his or her family.
I am passionate about helping others and my fun personality and sense of humor assure your counseling experience will be helpful and enjoyable. Whatever the issue or situation you may be experiencing, I think you will find that I’m easy to talk to. I tend to use a client-centered approach to ensure that clients feel comfortable, understood, and accepted. I also work from a cognitive-behavioral framework to help clients understand how their negative and unhelpful thinking can impact their behaviors and life choices.
In my time away from counseling, I enjoy spending time with my husband and children as well as other family and friends. I am an avid runner and yogi. I like most outdoor activities, and music of all kinds, especially country. I value hard work and keeping commitments. I am also very enthusiastic about cute shoes and big jewelry.
I commend your courage for seeking help to reach your life goals, and I look forward to working with you!

Many people wonder whether remote counseling can truly help. For common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions – online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person work.
Remote care offers a major practical benefit: flexibility. Individuals can connect with a licensed professional in the format that suits them best, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Licensed professionals deliver these services, and clients may change therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit. For many people facing everyday challenges, online therapy is a convenient and effective option to consider.
