Hi and welcome! I am well-versed in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, and working through difficult life events. I'm developing an interest in working with eating disorders and beginning training in this area. I most enjoy working with military, their families, and first responders. Overall, I believe in a holistic approach to therapy in general and I strongly believe that the well-being of our bodies must be incorporated into mental health treatment if it is to be successful. Email is the best way to get in touch with me.

Balance is the key to well-being. Imbalance creates distress and discomfort. When problems like stress, sadness, and worry start overshadowing the most valuable parts of life, we need a little help. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I aim to help enhance what’s already working and provide tools to address things that aren’t. Exploring how past experiences shape the mind’s unique way of experiencing and interacting enables new ways of behaving and relating to thoughts and feelings to restore balance in life. For therapy to be successful, clients need to be seen and valued while learning concrete strategies for change. Through my

As a therapist, I strive to "hold space" with clients. Holding space for another person is incredibly profound bringing your entire presence to them. You walk along with them without judgment, willing to end up wherever they need to go by giving the energy of our attention to the pain and struggle of another human being. As a ally to a variety of communities, I make it a priority to learn about the complexities and intersections of a persons identity; to honor each person's journey and recognize the privileges I have in sharing such a vulnerable space.

Therapy is the experience of acceptance, directness and expert, practical knowledge to help us navigate changes and setbacks. Modern life and biology can trigger sadness, anxiety, panic, social phobia, eating/health issues, and unwanted behaviors. Some people experience sexual, emotional, psychological, spiritual and religious abuse. Abuse can feel like being controlled, brainwashed, indoctrinated and like being a psychological hostage. Addressing confusing situations and finding healing are part of the purposes of therapy.

I work with adult women who are engaged in self-discovery and personal growth. They often face challenges such as anxiety, depression, or trauma and are seeking understanding and healing. Many have had difficulty finding safety in which to explore their emotions, past experiences, and core beliefs. They want to cultivate self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and increase their resilience. They often hope to break free from destructive patterns, improve relationships, and create a life in which they may find pleasure. Ultimately, they seek to live authentically and experience profound meaning and purpose.

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.
