I approach therapy with the aim of fostering a healthy and strong therapeutic alliance to create a genuine and collaborative relationship to address life’s challenges together. I establish a non-judgmental and communicative space that allows us to explore challenging topics such as past trauma, stigma, emotional difficulties, and overwhelmed feelings. Together we will identify the impact of past experiences on current functioning, exploring the interplay of the physical, mental, and emotional.

I am actively attuned and engaged with clients and use an integrative approach, drawing when appropriate from a range of modalities and lenses (CBT, Psychodynamic, Jungian, Internal Family Systems, and Object Relations). My goal is to meet the person where they are with what they need. The therapeutic process often results in psychological maturation and improvements in both inner life and relationships.

I believe life and relationships are full of challenging, yet rewarding transitions. These transitions provide us with valuable opportunities to understand ourselves more deeply, and to strengthen our relationships. By recognizing our patterns of behavior and understanding why we have them, we are then able to decide if, and how, we want to change those patterns. I strive to help couples and individuals reach this place of understanding by drawing on their strengths and fostering compassion.

While challenging at times, the potential rewards from engaging in therapy make the choice to engage worthwhile. As I continue to grow in this helping profession, I have come to specialize in working with people around trauma, identity development, anxiety, boundaries, mindfulness, and negative thinking. I am also passionate about helping individuals build self-esteem and identify unhealthy behaviors/patterns.

Sometimes we need the kind of help that comes from talking to a professional who is a compassionate and skilled listener. My approach to psychotherapy involves a collaborative relationship with opportunities for you to know and understand yourself better, work through deeper issues and difficult emotions caused by experiences in relationships (past/present), and manage stress effectively. All of this allows you to live your life more fully. I also offer mindfulness skills and meditation practices, which promote healing in the body, alleviate anxiety and depression, and help one cope with stress adaptively.

The issues that I help folks with include substance use, co-occurring disorders, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, body dysmorphia, & interpersonal relationships. I firmly believe that evidence-based psychotherapy, focused on one’s identity and their own experiences, can provide individuals with the agency they need to live the best version of their lives. It is critical to me that those I work with know that their uniqueness is part of what contributes to their strengths. Furthermore, it contributes to the strength-based approach I believe best helps individuals learn to love themselves in society today.

Anxiety, trauma, and depression can make us feel totally out of control, like being at war with ourselves. Maybe you feel like you’re keeping it together on the outside but on the inside you feel completely overwhelmed. Or maybe you feel numb, like you’ve lost the motivation to do anything. Perhaps you’re a notorious people pleaser who feels guilty saying “no” and now you’re stretched too thin. You might not even remember what it’s like to be fully present because you’re always overthinking and jumping to conclusions, but you know one thing is for sure: something needs to change. That’s where I come in.

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.
