Therapy is the process of moving closer to yourself, of building and strengthening your role as your own healer. It is a collaborative process rooted in a trusting, supportive relationship that involves play and celebration as much as it involves discomfort and struggle. I work from a trauma informed, sex positive, and LGBTQ+ affirmative perspective to support the development of a sense of safety in sessions. I am in a frequent state of growth in confronting my own internalized racism and dismantling structures of oppression. My approach is informed by Spiritual Psychology, IFS, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.

You’d been doing so well. Enjoying life, being productive, connecting with family and friends. Then, out of nowhere, it crept back in—that familiar feeling of numb emptiness. You can feel your worldview narrowing and your emotions shutting down, and it scares you. You’ve worked so hard to move past this and truly believed you were getting better. Eating well, exercising, meditating, and sleeping more. And then here comes this reminder that all the self-care in the world isn’t enough to help you move past this. Hopelessness is setting in. You know there must be a better way to live, but you simply don’t know how to achieve it.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to actively engage and work on obstacles that may be inhibiting personal growth and happiness. It is a therapist's job to be actively engaged in this process and to help in a way that is sensitive, constructive, and sensible. I feel that it's important to work on the identification of key issues, but to also find practical ways of moving forward. My approach draws upon various therapeutic techniques and modalities. I work diligently with each individual to ensure that we work with a technique that will be the most productive for the client.

It is in my belief that we are all intrinsically whole, deserving and worthy of love and meaningful connections. However, somewhere along the way we have incurred pain and hurtful experiences that have tainted our story and lens of how we see the world and ourselves. Sometimes the narrative runs so deep that we can’t stop the thoughts and feelings that flow continuously. In this way, everyday feels like a struggle. Perhaps you secretly feel lost and lonely or you struggle with feelings of anxiety, insecurity or sadness and are uncertain about how to navigate the complexity of your emotions. Wherever you are - your story matters.

As a therapist, I've come to deeply appreciate the inherent messiness and imperfection of being human. We all carry quirks, shadows, inconsistencies - and that's okay. My role is not to judge or fix, but to create a safe space where you can explore all of who you are with acceptance and compassion. I aim to provide a balance of practicality and profundity in my work. On a practical level, I'll share tools, frameworks, and insights from evidence-based modalities to help shine light on core issues. But I also believe therapy should allow for transcendence - those profound "aha" moments where you glimpse a deeper truth about yourself.

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.
