If you are experiencing feelings of shock, anxiety, guilt, shame and depression, allow me to address these emotions with empathy and care. Life can be difficult to adjust to when changes take place around you that feel "out of your control". I can help you sort your thoughts and behaviors to regain stability in your life. I use a person-centered approach to build rapport and strengthen a therapeutic relationship during a time that is challenging to you and often times scary. Give me the opportunity to help minimize panic and distress.

The world is overwhelming and hard to navigate. Memories or experiences can keep you up at night or haunt your thoughts at every turn, making you feel stuck in a pit of anxiety and depression. It's challenging to enjoy your current life when the memories won't stop replaying and the weight of anxiety/depression is paralyzing. Sometimes you know exactly where the pain is stemming from and other times it creeps up with no explanation. I believe that there is hope.

One of the most radical things we can do in this life is to take care of ourselves.

Life can feel overwhelming, and we can sometimes be plagued by painful experiences. While obstacles are ever-constant, feeling overwhelmed by them doesn't have to be. Throughout my years as a social worker, I have gladly supported clients across a variety of issues and backgrounds, though I am especially drawn to working with adolescents, Latinx, and LGBTQ+ folks.

I work with teenagers and adults who are seeking to heal from past hardships, build helpful coping strategies, and discover emotional wellbeing in a safe and supportive environment. Together, we can identify and build upon your strengths in order to process and integrate your past, present, and future, discovering a life worth living. As humans, we need to feel seen, understood, and valued for our experience. In a chaotic, changing world, it can be difficult to form the type of supportive networks that allow individuals to feel valued or empowered.

Within all of us is a story- when we are unable to express or recognize our own narratives we suffer. Each person needs space, a place where they can just be human and express how their stories have come to pass and all they wish to explore. By providing this space clients can work through their emotive disconnections and hone in on the steps that feel right to them when they feel ready for them.

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.
