Let me first say "I get it". As a CPTSD survivor, who is neurodivergent, therapy has been a lifeline for me. I know personally that it can be a scary experience, being vulnerable and hoping someone can understand and help you. Well you've come to the right place! About me: I have almost 20 years of experience, helping others heal from trauma, anxiety, depression and LIFE. I use EMDR and other mind-body (evidence based) techniques. In addition, I am certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy; and received advanced certification as a Telehealth provider and a Level II Clinical Trauma Professional.

I am optimistic in my therapeutic approach helping ladies with reproductive mental health, and couples, families, and individuals (adolescents/adults) who struggle with issues that affect their daily functioning. My goal is to empower clients to understand themselves, to highlight strengths, positive traits, coping skills, and encourage the potential that emerges during the therapeutic process. Life today is stressful under good circumstances but when life throws us off balance we need a safe place to process our thoughts and feelings to regain wellness in our life.

If you or your child is struggling with life's challenges, please remember that these challenges do not define you. You are so much more than your challenges, and it would be my honor to help you to truly feel that. Clients I work with may be seeking relief from symptoms of anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, a body-focused repetitive behavior such as hair-pulling (trichotillomania) or skin-picking, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, high-functioning autism, and more. I also work with children experiencing bullying and those who bully others.

As a former Division 1 Athlete and current Trailing Spouse, I am here to serve the ATHLETE and EXPAT communities. Athletes, you might have access to free resources at your school/university/college but sometimes it's nice to talk to someone outside of your athletic department because they might be part of the problem and you might feel more comfortable talking about your struggles with someone else "gets it." Expats, we know RMO-Ps aren't always available when we need them and local therapists might not be able to relate to our lifestyle or culture. I understand life inside the bubble without living inside of yours.

While it is the hope everyone will get to have the experience they wish for and deserve; unfortunately, many parents encounter complications or trauma before, during, and after this process. I want to do whatever I can to help mothers and parents avoid and/or heal from complications in the perinatal period.

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.
