Teletherapy for Amesbury, MA
You only have one body & accepting it might seem impossible. Many people turn to food, exercise, perfectionism, & anxiety to cope. However, they find themselves caught in an unbreakable cycle of unhappiness. Speaking with a therapist helps you to identify your unhelpful patterns, honor your strengths, create a toolbox of strategies, & learn to talk to yourself with compassion. My specialty is in the treatment of eating disorders, anxiety and body image. Eating disorders rarely exist in isolation. I am experienced in treating co-occurring symptoms including social challenges, family issues, depression, ADHD, & trauma.

As a licensed clinician, I believe in two fundamental truths. The first being "I believe in the possibility of change" and the second "I create a safe space to make that change". These beliefs help people heal and recover. As we develop in life, we all face transition and change. Some of these waters are difficult to navigate through and few of us can do so without a guide or support. I will support you so that you can see a clear path to your desired goals. "The purposes of a person's heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out. " Prov 20:5

I believe all people are capable of change if one is willing to be open, honest, and engaged in taking a hard look at oneself and the behaviors that are not best serving goal achievement and a happy life. Together we can work through the obstacles that have not allowed you to do so on your own and find the potential underneath.

What's holding you back from living your best life? Is it depression or anxiety? Fear of change? Are you stuck in a cycle of self-medicating? Maybe you're just curious to figure out why you keep repeating old patterns or you're at a crossroad. Therapy can be helpful to develop healthy coping skills, set (and maintain) healthy boundaries and explore the "why" of behaviors you want to change.

Entering a relationship with a therapist can be challenging when life is going well, so I appreciate the additional effort it takes when things aren't easy. I view our work as mutual, a partnership and my style is to be there with you as you explore. I also believe 'the work' is never truly done, but my goal is to give you the skills to continue that work outside of our time together. With couples, this work is complex because there are two histories, two brains, and scars from relationship injuries that need healing as we strengthen that bond.

The individuals that I treat most often have varying levels of need and are at different stages in their own therapeutic process. For this reason, I am very person-centered and tailor treatment to each individual's particular needs. I work with all ages but most often with children, adolescents, and young adults. The majority of individuals that I see struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, eating disorders, self-injury, school problems, and ADHD. However, I also have advanced training in working with individuals with chronic mental health issues and personality disorders.

People come to me looking for a better life experience. I believe that we all have inside of us the knowledge we need to meet all our needs, but sometimes accessing that knowledge can be a challenge. Often we repeat self defeating behaviors we have learned that once helped us cope with fears and anxiety, but are no longer working. I have helped many people identify behaviors and beliefs that stand between them and their dreams. Once you have learned to move past them, we will design and execute a vision that fulfills your spirit.

In order to feel better, it is essential to be comfortable with your therapist. I am down to earth and have a good sense of humor which can help make my office a place where it is easier to talk about difficult issues. Therapy is sometimes scary and it can be a lot of work to make changes in your life. I want to make it easier for you find new ways to solve problems, manage mental health issues and life stressors, and cope with difficult people and relationships in your life.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that people will do well when they can. The first step is getting to know you through the lens of empathy. It's my job to ask questions and work hard to get a sense of your experience, what it's like to stand in your shoes. Solutions and strategies are how we make the change. However, it can feel daunting and easier to just avoid. Accountability makes change. In my practice accountability means that you always have someone in your corner cheering you on, helping you identify small incremental actions and gently pushing you to follow through and create the change you are looking for.

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.
