Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
My focus as your therapist is to listen deeply, and remind you of your strengths and inner wisdom. I can assist you with creating strategies, skill building to move through the challenges you are experiencing, to improve relationships, improve communication skills, challenge negative thinking patterns. I provide a safe place to talk about what is troubling you.
I use a variety of therapeutic methods that include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), assessment of work and life balance, and mindfulness techniques. I am certified in HeartMath® for stress management, and Trauma Sensitive HeartMath®, helping clients reduce stress symptoms to regain their sense of control and self-mastery.
My counseling background started with addiction and recovery counseling in 2007, and in 2017 added mental health therapy. My work experience includes co-occurring disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, parenting issues, career difficulties, adapting to life changes, codependency, divorce and separation, family of origin issues, family problems, forgiveness, isolation/loneliness, addiction, life purpose, women’s issues, aging, sleep challenges and work/life balance.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly make a difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the primary advantages is flexibility – you can connect with a therapist in the way that feels most comfortable, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and maintain continuity of care.
Licensed professionals provide services online, and clients have the option to switch therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit. For many people facing everyday mental health concerns, online therapy offers an accessible and effective path to support and growth.
