My program is remote and self-paced, and includes 1-1 support via weekly face-to-face calls + 24/7 support online.
Are you a parent struggling to manage your kids emotionally intense or challenging behaviors and it’s making parenting and day-to-day life stressful and unenjoyable? Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, angry and burned-out from managing your kids’ behaviors? Do you wonder if this is just how parenting goes for everyone or could it be easier? Parenting has never been more confusing due to misinformation online and in parenting circles about handling challenging behavior and parenting in general. Social media is full of parenting tips that are just soundbites—impossible to follow without a cohesive framework or ongoing support.

Current availability limited to spots btw 11am-4pm. My practice focuses on anxiety and life transitions and I have special niches for people without kids and those affected by cancer. You may also be unsure about a life transition or parenthood and that is ok too! In fact, I think pursuing therapy during this ambivalence could really helpful. Your story is your own and I’m here to support you with enthusiastic empathy. A childless/childfree speciality is rare and I have lived experience in this area. It may feel good to just be in the presence of someone who ‘gets it’ as we work on other things in your life.

My ideal client will want a therapeutic experience where they find the courage to be imperfect. They should want a genderqueer psychotherapist who is fat, neurospicy, queer, and believes in finding joy without toxic positivity. I provide letters to support gender-affirming healthcare and believe in gender joy. My ideal client should know that we don't need to relive their trauma to process their trauma. I am a therapist who strives to understand individuals within their social constructs and will meet my clients wherever they are on their journey.

I work with individuals and couples seeking to connect: to themselves, to their bodies, to others, or to a sense of meaning. Many clients initially feel stuck in their lives, or misunderstood by the world, or (sort of) ready to face the trauma that seems to define them. I love working with a variety of adults, but I specialize in treating highly analytical/logical people, highly sensitive people, neurodiverse clients, religious trauma, and body acceptance issues.

I love working with clients who strive for growth and healing through a collaborative process of self-discovery. When the stories you believe about your life and about your self begin to hold you back, it is time to examine deeply where those messages come from, whether they serve your greater good, or if they are even accurate. I strive to work with clients to re-imagine their lives and their identity that is in alignment with their authentic self and truth(s). My clients learn how to integrate their past with their present in a way that creates wholeness and a sense of new purpose and meaning.

You matter, and your story matters.

I primarily provide individual therapy to adults (ages 18-45) who wish to address acute or long-term trauma, specifically childhood sexual abuse/sexual assault but other traumas as well. I approach each client through a developmental lens, understanding that concerns manifest differently depending on one's age and developmental stage at the time of the trauma as well as at the time of treatment. I also am available to work with parents, many who are navigating challenges associated with helping a child who has been traumatized, who wish to explore more positive discipline strategies.

“How can I reconnect intimately with my partner?” “How do we navigate having different levels of sexual desire?” “How do we rebuild trust after it’s been broken?” “Who am I and what does that mean?” These are all questions I have heard many iterations of in my therapy office, so if you’ve found yourself asking some of these same questions, you’re not alone. Whether you're tackling rebuilding trust, cultivating intimacy, exploring sexuality, deconstructing harmful self-narratives, or developing communication skills, it is an honor to walk alongside you during this journey, as you invest in yourself and your relationships.

Accepting new clients. Developing compassion for ourselves is a gateway for healing and stepping into authentic power. In a world where trauma, disconnection, and oppressive systems can shape our reality, I seek to support clients in their journey of actualizing the truth and profound potential that is in their core Self. In our work together we will explore what is wanting to transform and how to develop a more compassionate way of honoring yourself and your story. My approach is nonjudgmental and heart-centered. I seek to create a space where it is safe for you to be real, speak your truth, and be seen.

Welcome to my page! I appreciate therapy because it is a way to learn and grow. Each of us has a mind, heart, and emotions so it makes a lot of sense to learn about how our mind and body work. It is also a courageous act. It takes courage to reach out, courage to feel uncomfortable emotions and courage to embark on change. The foundation of my therapy approach is self-compassion; it is the desire to understand ourselves from a place of curiosity rather than criticism. As we begin the change process it can be easy for clients' self-criticism to increase therefore, we will develop your ability to treat yourself with kindness.

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.
