In today's 24/7 instant communication and gratification culture, stress and pressure are often all too common, in addition to dealing with COVID-19, its limitations to life and social isolation. Our jobs, relationships, friendships and even our pets demand time from us and results in little "me" time. Going offline to nurture yourself is all too uncommon but can be the key to a more contented, joyous, and thriving life. My practice specializes in helping you have a more happy, healthy, productive, and more importantly relaxed life. Taking an hour of your time to go offline has great benefits to creating peace in your life.

You’re self aware, but the intensity of your emotions often seems to win out. You are committed to growth and deepening your self-knowledge but find yourself either stuck in the depths of your emotions or unable to connect with them at all. You desire secure relationships, but instead experience anxiety or detachment and can’t seem to shake feelings of shame. Now, you feel ready to process the more hidden aspects of yourself that you had to push aside just to get by. You want to increase your capacity for connection to yourself and to others, so you can find more safety in your body, your relationships, and in the world.

I pursued my Masters because I have always been someone who had a skill for listening to others and in some cases helping them; it was done so often that my parents who were divorced both individually would make comments about how I could be a therapist. One day after witnessing someone who often sought my feedback manage a situation on her own I realized how fulfilling it could be to not just create the space for someone to share what troubles them but to witness them grow.

My belief is that our pain and dysfunction is rooted in both experiences that have happened to us as well as external experiences - such as systemic, generational, and contextual factors weaved throughout each person’s story. As your therapist, we will explore both your current crises as well as past experiences that contribute to prolonged and chronic suffering. I also consider collateral care alongside your treatment essential - I want to be connected with your team in your healing journey to give you the best, most well-rounded care.

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.
