Do you wake up every morning feeling crazy amounts of stress and this nagging thought that no matter what you do, you will never be good enough? As humans we carry stress, pain, trauma, memories and patterns from our family, or jobs, our personal relationships and more in the cells of our bodies. This directly impacts how we feel about ourselves and show up in life. I imagine that what you really want (even more than achieving that milestone or having that next best thing) is to feel safety within yourself...to believe with your whole heart that you are worthy and enough.

At some point we all struggle to adjustment to life's changes; it's normal to feel stuck and I believe people have what it takes to adjust. For the past 20 years, I have been working with children and teens who are struggling to balance the demands of school and their social life. I integrate parents in my work as much as possible. I also work with adults and Couples often come to me for help in distress and are confused about how or why their relationship has derailed. I am dedicated to helping people build stronger; more intimate relationships and I use several modalities when attempting to help couples in distress.

Working with children, teenagers, adults, and families has been my priority for the past decade in order to help them develop the skills they need to build healthy lives. My goal is to create a safe environment in which individuals feel comfortable expressing themselves openly and free of judgment. I believe in working as a team in order to help each person develop insight in themselves and their situation, while cultivating their strengths, and highlighting their resiliency. When needed, I involve parents, families, psychiatrists, and physicians in order to ensure collaboration to increase the client's support within treatment.

People often think therapy is a place to vent; it definitely CAN be that - validation is important. Therapy is also a place where you are challenged to see things differently, face your fears and take steps toward creating the life you deserve. It can be scary, which is why having a therapist is so helpful. I'm not here to tell you what to do, but I will point out the barriers in your way (even the ones you might be accidentally putting there yourself), so you can overcome them. Therapy can be long-term, but it doesn't have to be. Part of my job is to help you become your own therapist, so you don't need me as much (or at all!)

Being a woman or girl today has gotten increasingly complex! You were raised to believe what you were told. Your parents told you one thing. Your friends another. Throw in societal expectations and the media..? And now you want something more fulfilling. More fun. More…you! You’re afraid of being labeled. The people you date are the ones you are “supposed to,” not who you want. Maybe sex has been painful or unfulfilling and you want to understand why. Your sexual self is yours alone. But how do you sort your truth from everyone else’s? You want something different, but you are not sure how to talk about it.

Standing in the shower, letting hot water pour over my tired body, I wanted to lengthen my alone time. I already heard from the monitor that the baby was stirring, and the dog was sniffing under the door and pacing in front of the bathroom. As my brain reviewed the endless to-do list, I felt guilt creeping in for “indulging” in extra seconds in the warm shower stream. Therapists may tell you a shower isn’t self-care, but part of your basic needs. But as a working mom, it was my only self care time. A need to maximize aka multi-task was ever-present and bordering feelings of inadequacy. Despite all my efforts, I was overwhelmed.

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.
