If you feel like you need some support or help to deal with life, I'm here. We all need help occasionally.

I discovered that building a supportive relationship through therapy creates a safe place to explore life issues, understand difficult situations, learn new coping skills, enrich relationships, and work through situations that lead to a more authentic life.

Hello and welcome. Throughout our lives, we will all experience challenges that require additional support and a space outside of friends and family to work through and process. Taking this first step to looking for a therapist is a wonderful thing. With so much choice, it can be an overwhelming process. Sometimes, making the first move can feel especially overwhelming if you are the first in your family or community to seek therapy, or if you need support in an area that you feel others might not understand. I want you to know that you are not alone. I say that as someone who has taken that step as well.

I am an experiential therapist and enjoy helping those who wish to be free of painful, unhappy, or otherwise bad feelings from past experiences, change the nature of their current and future relationships, and live up to their full potential. I believe that therapy is not only a science but an art form that can only succeed by being authentic and sincere. I also have experience using CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based stress reduction, a humanistic, attachment-based, narrative, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy.

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.
