Somehow, you’ve taken on more than your fair share again. How does this always seem to happen? It’s like they don’t notice- or care. It would be really nice to feel appreciated for a change, but you can’t remember the last time you even got so much as a thank you. Maybe things would be different if you could just communicate better… but how? Last time you tried that it turned into an argument and you walked away feeling frustrated, guilty and selfish for even saying anything. After all, aren’t you just being overly sensitive? “Just get over it”, you tell yourself for the hundredth time…

I specialize in working with children ages 5-16 years old, and I offer evening appointments. Whether your child is "acting out" at school or home, experiencing anxiety symptoms or panic attacks, exploring their identity or sexuality, or going through significant life changes, I would love to help them work through it! As adults, life has a way of presenting us with challenges that would seem nearly impossible to overcome. These factors impact our thoughts, feelings and often change our daily routines and behavior outside of our norm, making it difficult to find our internal peace. I have found these same adversities in kids.

I specialize in helping individuals & couples cope with anxiety, relationship disconnection, self worth issues, people pleasing behaviors, &/or unresolved past pain. A common reason individuals come to me is because they want help being more authentic or addressing something unresolved from their past. Maybe your story is one of being caught between 2 worlds - what the world or family wants from you and who you want to be? Possibly you are used to supporting others and want someone who will listen to you for a change? Or this strategy of pushing aside issues from your past is leaving you exhausted and breaking down at times.

Are you feeling uncomfortable in your own skin? Feeling like you can never relax or be at ease with yourself can be agonizing. When you don't feel confident in who you are, every day tasks and relationships can be difficult.

You could be concerned that your therapist won't understand your experiences or feel like you will have to educate them. I will provide you with a safe place to explore your thoughts, emotions, and identity.

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.
