My goal is to ensure that what is done in therapy is personalized, collaborative, and unique to you as the client, alongside a plan of action to address the issue(s) so you leave the session feeling invested in yourself.

Waitlist for new clients
We all need a little assistance from time to time in this complicated world. My client's come to session wanting and needing a variety of modalities and strategies. Our sessions build a relationship of trust and respect so we can eventually dive deep into the root of whatever is causing the upset. Through therapeutic relationships we find the safety to explore, try out new coping strategies and feel supported through the adjustments in life. My adaptable approach allows for flexibility from individual to individual as well as opportunities for growth in-between different types of challenges and adjustments. Thank you for considering

It takes time to pick up the pieces. Parts of you may feel broken, paralyzed, and unheard. With intergenerational systems of dysfunction, very few of us grew up with anything approaching healthy relating. As mammals, we can use the natural force towards connection along with regulating our autonomic fitness to return to our joyful and intuitive self.

I am passionate about serving children who also highly benefit from therapy by communicating their inner world through play.

Focusing on peak performance and maximizing functioning leads to happiness, feeling content, and reduced negative self-impressions. Regardless of whether your performing in athletics, the arts, medicine, or human interaction, it is important to recognize both what is working to optimize performance (building consistency) and what is holding you back (mitigating challenges and overcoming difficulties). Focusing on the core competencies of self-awareness (knowing what is going on in your mind and performance) and self-management (how to take control of your true potential through mindset, behavior, and engagement) goals are realized.

Online Therapists
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.
