Experiences of overwhelm, hardship, and imperfections are inevitable aspects of life, and too, they have beautiful qualities. They create atmospheres to understand imbalances and what is essential more deeply, both in ourselves and all those around us. When viewed as entry points to insight and peace, we can begin to feel some relief and sense of possibility. Rather than hindrances, we begin to see stepping stones on a path to greater awareness, healing, stability of mind amidst changing life conditions, compassion for our suffering and that of others, and joy.

Are you feeling unsettled in your relationships? Are you and your partner trying to understand your patterns and find new ways of relating? Are you personally feeling stuck in shame or struggling with self confidence? Maybe you just want to address some unresolved issues. No matter the reason, therapy is a doorway to exploring our shadows; the scariest, most vulnerable, sometimes even hope-filled parts of ourselves. Rather than fumbling to shine a light in the darkness, therapy shows us how to see.

Despite being smart, hard-working, and loving supporters to their friends & family, many people struggle to care for themselves emotionally in daily life (especially when life gets hard). This may be due to burnout, depression, perfectionism, or loss. I help clients reflect on their life, past and present. We identify thought & behavior patterns that lead to feeling "stuck". Then, we rewrite an inner dialogue that is rooted in self-compassion, leading to healing, freedom, and more enjoyment of life.

Clients who most benefit working with me would describe themselves as people with big hearts who would do anything for those they love. They’d say they have perfectionist tendencies and strive to be high achievers, but also carry the worry they're either not enough or a disappointment to others. They often struggle to keep emotions pushed down because they don't want to burden anyone with complicated feelings. If you’re noticing your thoughts and feelings are interfering with your ability to love, work, play, and nurture yourself, I can help you gain greater insight and new tools to bring about the change you’re craving.

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.
