People who come to me for help often report feeling drastically different and more in-control of their daily lives after just a few sessions. My approach brings about lasting change and empowers my patients to make decisions that are in their own best interest. In each meeting, we will work collaboratively to establish a path toward clearly-defined goals. If you often find yourself reacting to a situation in an unseemly manner, then wonder "Why did I just do that?" I believe you have the answer, and I can help you find it. See my website to get to know me better, plus view my blog, TEDx Talk, and sign up for my monthly newsletter!

Tired of feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in life? Are you going through your days on autopilot, with no clear direction on where you’re going? Or even if you do know what you want, are you feeling helpless or hopeless about things getting better? Having a clear life path, more energy, and happiness may seem like a far away dream. Waking up and feeling excited about your day may feel impossible. Especially if one of your favorite pastimes is hitting that snooze button 10+ times every morning. ;)

I'd like to guide and empower the process of your change! We all have negative thoughts at times that can disrupt our lives and interfere with our ability to move forward. Negative thinking can take on many forms that can cause or worsen anxiety, depression, and past trauma and can even have an impact on our physical health. Negative thinking doesn't occur without consequences because it can affect every part of your life including how you feel, your relationships, and decision-making. Fortunately, there are steps and techniques you can use to counteract negative thinking and I would like to guide you in this process.

Your mental & physical energy are drained, leaving you feeling stuck and unmotivated.

You look at others & long for the success, confidence, & meaningful relationships that they seem to have mastered.

With the understanding that life does not come with a “how to” guide, my goal as a therapist is to help you navigate the challenges of life which presents us with difficulties that may seem insurmountable. While you may not fully understand which direction may be the best route, sometimes talking things through can make all the difference.

Maybe your family was less than healthy growing up and you wonder how that’s impacting you today? Did you feel ignored back then? If you felt pressure to conform to others’ expectations and hide how you felt - you're not alone. Over time that experience can leave you numb, confused and angry. If you haven't been taught how to manage doubt and insecurity, they creep and leave you anxious, resentful, and depressed. You want to express yourself and hold healthy boundaries in your relationships, but don't know how to. I will help teach you to accept yourself, hold boundaries and stop beating yourself up.

Therapy offers a space for individuals to explore their past, present and future self. Your story matters. The more we try to hide, keep quiet or ignore our journey the harder it seems to find out what truly matters to us. Therapy can often be the last resort for many individuals and families suffering. I'd love for it to be the first option to a path of fulfillment. I still remember my first therapy session, the relief I felt when the therapist normalized my experience. It felt as if a weight had been lifted. A weight I carried for too long. I'd love to be the person who can offer relief and support to you and your loved ones.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
