So you've had enough. You've had enough of people acting like you don't have a life of your own, your issues to worry about, your stress- because they expect you to solve their problems. When you've been drowning in work and stress, they give you a high five instead of a life vest. You're not looking for anyone to save you; you want a break, some appreciation, and maybe even some peace. It doesn't seem like too much to ask.

Life is a journey. There are times when it's easy and good, and times when it's harder than you want it to be. If you're at one of the lower moments in your life, it can sometimes help if you reach out to someone who is understanding, a good listener and who has many years experience helping people problem-solve their way back to a place where life feels more manageable. If you are feeling more sad than happy, more anxious than calm, then maybe you should call me. We'll chat a little and see if we think we'd make a good therapeutic team.

As a Christian Marriage and Family Therapist, my passion lies in helping individuals who are involved in ministry, including pastors, ministers, and leaders, navigate the unique challenges that come with their callings. Ministry can be an incredibly rewarding vocation, but it also carries the weight of others' burdens, often leaving those in service grappling with their own emotional and spiritual challenges. I understand the profound importance of a strong spiritual foundation and am dedicated to walking alongside you on your journey to spiritual and emotional well-being.

I understand life may be challenging! Through personal life experiences and the Christian faith, I have realized that there is a wide-spread need to aid the hurting within our communities. While we can rejoice, we can also experience days of sorrow. Such days lend themselves to one experiencing anger, sadness, despair, anxiety, and pain. Learning and effectively being able to implement coping, grounding, self-regulation, and de-escalation skills will be important to live a healthy life.

I have been in private practice for over 30 years and believe that people can truly change their lives. People can take very difficult experiences in their lives and use them to develop a more meaningful life. I draw from my own experiences while I work with my clients and believe that change can happen at any age. People can use grief, loss, trauma and life's most difficult experiences to develop meaning that they may never have had. Finding your own spirituality and your own style of coping is what makes it unique.

Our experiences and our growth within those experiences, is what makes us unique. Learning to embrace the process is what makes us blossom in that process; everyday is a new opportunity to grow. Whether we are experiencing grief, trying to manage life with our experiences with trauma, suffering from depression and/or anxiety, working towards a healthy relationship with our spouse while trying to provide a healthy environment for our children and ourselves, we all experience growth differently. What we do with those experiences and how we choose to embrace them, that is our story.

The magic of therapy is about crafting a stronger sense of who you are on the inside, while building sturdier bridges to satisfying work and relationships on the outside. Some clients work with me because of a short-term problem they want to improve. Others want time to slow down and sort out their hurts, dreams, and needs, and to make bigger decisions about how they want to live. In both cases, therapy is an opportunity to reclaim your life and grow forward. My goal is to support your courage in being continually more your own self while living effectively in the world.

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.
