Email or text messaging is the most effective way to reach me. It can be difficult to navigate life's challenges and it is important to remember that you don't have to do it alone. My goal is to assist people in finding a sense of calm and understanding in their life to increase their well-being.

My passion for families began earlier in my career as I had the opportunity to support families with a special needs child as their family advocate. This led me to see the importance of strengthening the family system through developing healthy communication skills, conflict resolution, trauma work and being the bridge for the family and the multiple providers that were part of their team. I don't believe there is an "ideal" client only someone that has courage to walk through the doors, share their story, and work collaboratively to find healing and joy within themselves. I love working with individuals and the family system.

They aim to build healthier communication patterns, resolve conflicts effectively, and develop a stronger sense of self and connection with others. They want a safe space to explore their emotions and behaviors, guided by a compassionate therapist who believes in their resilience and capacity for positive change.

Currently hiring therapists in PA and NY. My goal is to provide effective, comprehensive treatment to individuals struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, PTSD, and co-occurring diagnoses. I use evidence-based treatment to help individuals recover, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), prolonged exposure therapy (PE), and exposure response prevention therapy (ERP). I strive to help my clients accept their body’s natural shape, no longer experience intense negative emotions due to weight or food, stop compromising their physical or emotional health, and cope with negative emotions in healthy ways.

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.
