I work with children, teens, and adults. Over nearly 30 years, I find the uniqueness of each person, and am authentic in my approach. I have helped clients overcome depression, understand and manage their anxiety, and work through significant trauma in their lives. Many people from Asia, Africa, and Europe have worked with me very successfully as they transition to the US. My work is finished when clients feel in better control of their moods, habits, and thoughts, they have sustaining purpose(s) in their daily life, and when they experience their social connections as fulfilling and satisfying. I believe in the power of therapy.

Therapy should be tailored to address the specific needs of each client. Having trained in a variety of practices in methods, I’ve worked together with my client, to determine which approach works best for them to address their ADHD, anxiety, depression or relationship challenges.

I specialize in treating mood and anxiety disorders, major life transitions (e.g career, college), relational/familial concerns in trauma/PTSD. I also have specialized training and working with couples, and individuals struggling with anger management issues.

Women constantly struggle trying to meet the demands of society. Whether married or single, child-free or have a full household, it feels like a never-ending list of “to-dos”. Waking up to a flurry of thoughts, running moment to moment attempting to be present in your life while constantly jumping to the next thing … it’s a race of survival at times. How is it that all the other women around you seem like they’ve got it together? Well, they don’t.

We often find ourselves acting, feeling and thinking in ways that seem automatic, and no longer under our control. These feelings and actions are familiar, but aren't satisfying and are not working for us anymore. Together we can create other ways to respond to your life that will be more fulfilling.

We live in a world marked by constant changes and challenges, which often leads us to live experiences of anxiety, depression and stress, which can affect our personal, family, work and social environment.

I invite let yourself be accompanied in a therapeutic, empathetic and compassionate process that could support with the challenges that you are facing at this time with appropriate and healthy coping skills.

Are you struggling with managing your stress, experiencing a life transition, trying to cope with general anxiety or depression? Life can be quite challenging, in many ways, and we often may not even have control of those challenges, stressors or barriers, but we do have control in how we equip ourselves to best manage our emotional distress. My ideal client is someone who is ready to commit to their mental health journey by prioritizing their emotional well being and self-care needs. I strongly believe in the power of building a strong therapeutic alliance and collaborating with clients to achieve their goals.

It is normal to struggle at times throughout your life, but can be difficult to ask for help with these struggles. This is why I consider my work as a counselor a privilege, striving to treat each client with dignity, respect and humor. In my 15 years of work as a counselor, I have found most people have the strength and creativity to meet their needs and recover. Counseling is simply seeking guidance from another to gain hope and uncover this resiliency.

I believe that through collaboration with the therapist each person can find their true motivation and can navigate their way towards the change by using their inner resources and, if need be, through learning new skills. Be it an emotional challenge or upheaval, a relationship issue or stress, one should not have to do it alone and moving on in life can be possible.

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.
