Has your life suffered because of trauma you have experienced? I work with individuals, couples, and families to overcome their challenges related to abuse and trauma as well as anxiety, depression, and interpersonal issues. I have worked with survivors of sexual trauma and domestic violence, the LGBT community and unique concerns within that community, and individuals who struggle with co-occurring mental illness and substance use. I'm also familiar with the struggles you may have in managing a chronic illness. I value the importance of creating a safe, non-judgmental space to work on yourself.

I approach therapy as a place where you can be seen and heard in all phases of your life. I specialize in supporting women experiencing anxiety and stress often as a result of trauma, relational wounds, and overwhelming circumstances in life. You don't have to figure this out on your own. My approach to therapy is holistic and relational, where we can collaboratively work towards your healing, discover your strengths, and instill hope. We will work towards naming what you're feeling, communicating with others in healthier ways, and finding tools to deal with your anxiety and stress better.

Do you have trauma, anxiety or depression and feel ready to work on yourself? Perhaps you are new to therapy but feel motivated or inspired to heal and work through emotions, conflicts or blockages to living a more fulfilling life. Have you had other therapies but feel “it’s time” to go deeper and explore root causes of patterns and issues? Do you feel you are in an “awakening“ and hope to work with a Transpersonal Therapist to support the integration of your higher or Whole/Core Self?

All members of a family have an important job. I believe in a family-centered approach that prioritizes connection which promotes resilience in children and their families. As a parent/caregiver, you deserve a space to process your experiences and feelings that arise when caring for a child. Children encounter challenges at every stage of development. Whether these difficulties are typical for their age or arise from unexpected stressors affecting the child or family, seeking counseling might be beneficial. I have decades of experience working with children and find ease and joy in building rapport with kids.

My approach to therapy is embodied in the quote by Sunryu Suzuki: Each of us is perfect the way we are...and we can use a little improvement. This means that I will help you work through any shame that you feel about your perceived problems so that you can integrate the self-awareness that we will together uncover. I am highly attuned to emotional experience and will help you to understand how unmet emotional needs contribute to destructive thoughts and/or behaviors and how self-acceptance lights the way to deeper connections with others.

Living in our complex, fast-paced society, can cause people to feel significant stress, overwhelm and experience a sense of stagnation. These pressures often manifest as anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Many seek relief by working out, eating healthier and talking with friends. We might find these methods helpful at first but may need to learn new tools. As an associate therapist, I work with the queer and trans community to navigate these challenges. During your session we work together to identify, to process and change areas you feel stuck, if in your thoughts, behaviors or emotions.

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.
