Have you found yourself at a crossroads? Feeling overwhelmed by the weight of your emotions and the complexity of your relationships. Are you an individual struggling with persistent anxiety, battling waves of depression, or feeling stuck in a cycle of negative self-talk? Perhaps you are part of a couple grappling with communication breakdowns, trust issues, or a growing emotional distance. Or maybe your family is facing challenges in maintaining harmony, with conflicts that seem impossible to resolve. You may not know exactly what the solution looks like, but you know you can't keep going on the same path.

I believe that a relationship of comfort, trust, and genuine interest between you and me is vital to working on any issue. I also believe that your behavior or way of thinking can be best understood in the context of your past and current circumstances. I try to thoroughly understand my patients and then help them to develop tools they can use to better manage life’s challenges. I believe that partners and family members can overcome most difficulties by taking the time to truly understand each other’s needs and wants.

Anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, sudden anger, poor relationships and difficulty fully connecting often stem from trauma. I specialize in the treatment of all types of trauma (recent, longterm, childhood, etc.) and its resulting symptoms. Trauma can come from unhealthy family relations, sudden accidents or long-term abuse. These conditions are difficult to treat using only talk-based therapy and you might have noticed little improvement with previous therapy. I use both verbal and non-verbal techniques to help re-program the brain. This gives you a more effective way to process your trauma and clear the symptoms you are experiencing.

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.
