You are seeking out counseling, which may mean you feel overwhelmed and have found that your normal ways of coping are no longer working. Maybe you're in a transition such as graduation, a career change, or a relationship ending. Maybe you are feeling hopelessness or despair, struggling to stay afloat. Whatever your specific situation, your gut is telling you that you need some help to move through this struggle. Reaching out for help takes a lot of courage. Through my own healing journey and work with clients, I have experienced first-hand how our most painful times can be the birthplace of transformation, growth, and inspiration.

The journey towards mental and emotional wellness can be difficult, especially for those who have experienced trauma or painful life transitions.

I am passionate about helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and Christian spirituality. While I’m totally open to exploring your needs and adjusting my preferences, my ideal client is aged 13 – 60 with a special focus on males and masculinity. Asking for help is difficult, particularly so for men. As a male who has struggled with anxiety throughout my life, I am passionate about helping open the door to healing for men.

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.

I work with adult and teen individual clients, and occasionally provide specialized support to parents of teens and families. I enjoy working with people who would like to better understand their emotions; how to communicate them and regulate them. I provide counseling for people with mood and personality disorders. I work with many clients who have a history of self harm, and suicidal ideation/attempts. I also work with people seeking support for substance use/recovery issues, and people on the autism spectrum.

Are you in low spirits? Are you spinning your wheels and finding no traction? Do you want to hide, cry or rage? Do you sometimes feel nothing at all? Enduring stress, trauma and oppression can make a person feel alone, bitter, desperate, hopeless, joyless or afraid. Sharing and processing your inner experience in therapy can crack open and shed light on unique insights and lessons your life has waiting for you.

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.
