As we travel through this journey of life, getting past challenges can be a difficult process. At times, we may need the guidance and support of a skilled professional. I have over 10 years of experience providing clinical counseling in mental health facilities, school settings, and private practice. Currently, I provide teletherapy via a HIPAA compliant platform to help clients take the steps to better manage life’s challenges. When clients learn to effectively manage persistent challenges – they understand better…they feel better…they perform better.

Have you experienced the heaviness of a chronic illness or the weight of being a caregiver? Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, isolated, or even depressed at times? Living with a chronic illness is an invisible battle that goes beyond physical symptoms. The emotional toll it takes on you, your partner, or caregiver is often overlooked but just as significant. Whether it's your relationship, career, or household responsibilities, chronic illness or being a caregiver can make it difficult to be the best version of yourself. It takes a lot of courage to take that first step, and I want to commend you for seeking support.

It is your time to live intentionally. Enough of the self-blame, guilt-shame, and disorganized thinking. It is time to take control of your thoughts and actions by making yourself accountable and learning the necessary tools to grow and glow. You are not just here by coincidence. You are clearly someone who sees enough value in yourself that you want to learn the necessary tools to elevate. There are days we feel less than or have major highs and lows. Think of therapy as an investment in yourself. Everything from more self-care, self-love, acceptance, and even forgiveness. This is a place to grow not just merely exist.

I work best with clients ready to make a change but haven't yet figured out the best course of action. My agency name, Inertia Counseling, is founded on the notion that if we are stuck emotionally, we tend to stay stuck emotionally unless we make a conscious effort to change. Like Newton's Law of Inertia, once we start our process of changing how we think and act, that change gathers momentum and we can really change our lives for the better. Get moving... Stay moving... Change your life!

What if constant exhaustion was optional? What if you could say “no” and not feel bad? What if taking up more space in your relationship could actually make it healthier? What if “Because I can handle it … I’ll be okay” was NOT a good enough reason to push yourself to the limit? What if you didn't ALWAYS have to work twice as hard (at work and at home)? What if taking time out for yourself, actually lead to you having MORE time in the end? What if you could find more peace and rest without the people around you taking your advice, or finally working WITH you to solve problems?

"Where do I go from here? Who am I really?" These are questions that we often face through life transitions. Just when you may have thought that things were on smooth sailing another rift comes about. The good news is "Not all storms come to disrupt your life. Some come to clear your path". I am passionate about working with adolescents, teens and young adult who are yearning for a change. As a team, we can explore past traumas, work to challenge thinking patterns and change behaviors. Change is inevitable and we all need that safe space to process this thing called life.

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.
