Few things in life are harder than struggling alone. As humans, we crave connection. To be seen and deeply loved. But relational wounds or the residue of past trauma can make us feel we're unacceptable or unloveable. We yearn for more in our relationships and to have a meaningful connection with ourselves. We want to live with more ease, but we feel stuck by our pain. Deep emotional wounds need nurturing. And finding a therapist who is attuned, engaged & compassionate will you feel accompanied so you can process painful experiences & emotions. Even though they may have been too difficult to contend with before.

I am an evidence-based therapist and provide mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, and internal family systems concepts to tailor therapy to your needs.

I like helping individual clients with depression, communication, self-esteem, and academic/career issues. Most of the clients I work with had been thinking about getting help for a long time, but either wanted to try and deal with it themselves or thought counseling was only for other people. I know talking about mental health still carries a stigma for some and I respect the courage of everyone who moves past that stigma to enter my office.

I conduct assessments for ADHD, learning disabilities, brain injury, psychological functioning and more. I work with adults, but I specialize in young adults and college students. So many people come to me saying they've felt different their whole lives, couldn't talk to anyone about it, and found ways to compensate over the years. Evaluations can provide clarity, validation, and answers so that folks can understand themselves better and seek the right support.

I enjoy a challenge and expect the therapy process to be collaborative whether struggling with a life change, starting over, or dealing with a loss. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and sexual abuse are areas of experience, utilizing individual or group format.

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.
