I love the counseling that I do. For the last fifteen years I have been a witness to the courage, tenacity, and resiliency of my clients as they strive to improve their personal lives and relationships in their families. I am convinced that much of our life is determined by the lens that we choose to look through. I also believe counselors are most successful when they also have a healthy lifestyle and live the principles that they teach to their clients. I believe that when you meet me that you will find me to be grounded, healthy, and authentic.

Life sometimes doesn't go as planned and some challenges can benefit from an experienced guide. I am a specialist in treating trauma and in working with couples.

I try to meet each person where you are, discover the strengths within, and focus on helping you live a life based on what you value. I believe communication and boundaries are vital in all relationships and try to provide a supportive, encouraging, sometimes light-hearted, and non-judgmental space for exploration and healing for all.

For some seeing a counselor might seem intimidating, but in reality, it's an opportunity to be able to be your true self, in a safe space, with no judgment. I use the counseling technique that best suits each client. Many struggle, for example, with anxiety, depression, grief, stress or past trauma. It is possible to feel better.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I am committed to empowering others to achieve freedom from fear, find hope, and embrace greater quality of life through evidence-based treatments (EBTs). Patients can expect 3 phases of treatment: 1) gain a full understanding of presenting concerns; 2) apply gold standard/EBTs in several environments; 3) patient stand as expert, generalizing their knowledge, while I sit as a consultant. I offer accurate diagnosing and treatment precision techniques with advanced modalities (e.g., bio/neurofeedback, virtual reality, etc.) and each client can expect a warm welcome from their first contact to the last.

Making the decision to seek a therapist is the first step to caring for yourself. My focus has always been teaching new mindsets and behaviors to create the life you want. Many people have an expectation of what they think their life should be based on family, friends, or societal expectations. People often chase happiness while dragging along their baggage from the past. But true peace comes from identifying our own expectations and what will bring us fulfillment. I encourage you to take the pressure off from trying to figure these things out alone. If you think I could be a good fit, give me a call. All clients are welcome.

Confused and discouraged by your own behavior, you ask, "Why do I keep doing things that hurt me and the ones I love?" You've been stuck in a cycle of engaging in your behavior, feeling guilty and ashamed, vowing to make it up by being "good," only to find yourself back in the behavior all over again. Or maybe you gave up being "good" a long time ago and have completely given up hope of changing. You've been coping with the secrets, guilt, and shame alone for too long, & you know you need something different. You want to stop behaving this way, show your loved ones that you're trustworthy, and enjoy life.

Relationships tend to be the greatest source of both stress and joy in our lives. Whether you're enduring conflict in your marriage, with family, or children the disconnection can feel debilitating. Together we can explore the dynamics that are the source of that pain and, either as a couple or individual, breaking through the stagnation of painful conflict to find peace and connection. Specifically, with couples I appreciate and deeply understand the painful issues that are connected with sexual relationships and have tailored my education around incorporating that focus.

I firmly believe finding the right therapist is crucial in a successful journey to better mental health and wellness. A dynamic therapeutic relationship is one of the most influential factors for successful transformations. I know the process of finding a good match can be cumbersome and frequently prevents folks from seeking help they desperately need. I have been recognized for my ability to build rapport with my clients in a warm, inviting, and safe environment. This allows my clients to feel safe while being able to comfortably discuss difficult and sensitive information, while reaching their goals and finding serenity.

Through our work together, you can do just that. The fastest way to contact me is to email about availability.

Are you struggling through a recent traumatic event? Or maybe something difficult that you went through years ago? Perhaps you find it difficult to control how much you drink, or you can't stop looking at pornography? If you are experiencing any of these things, or the commonly-experienced shame that comes along for the ride, I would love to take the time to help you find effective solutions to these issues. I work primarily with adults and older teens, so if you or your teenager have been thinking about trying counseling, today might be the day.

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.
