Everyone is talking about diversity and acceptance, and you aren't feeling it. You wonder if anyone will ever understand the "real" you. I got you! We are going to dig into what it means to be poly, intersexed, and/or gender questioning and how to feel whole even when others are telling you otherwise. I understand how trauma experiences influence your thinking and view of self. I will help you develop the skills that lead to solid relationships and increased self-acceptance. You are amazing. You are worthy. You deserve to be understood. Let me be the person to hear you and help you see how deserving you are.

I am a warm, engaging, interactive therapist. People tend to suffer alone with Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Distress, Eating Disorders, Grief over loss & Life Transition Complexities. We are all met with obstacles, unexpected curve-balls and difficult life challenges. Navigating necessary changes in family dynamics can be especially complicated for young adults as they separate and create space to develop and decide for themselves what their independent adult life will look like.

Unaddressed grief, especially in early adulthood, can lead to long-term challenges, leaving individuals feeling stuck. Grief isn't a one-time experience—we are called to revisit and process it with each major life transition. By facing grief early, we allow space for healing and growth, preventing it from becoming an emotional burden that hinders well-being over time. In a few weeks, we're launching an in-person grief group, "No One Should Grieve Alone," for adults in their 20s and 30s who have experienced loss. This group offers a rare chance to work through grief within a community of peers who understand loss.

I believe in the concept that there is a continuum of health, and while at one level a behavior, thought or feeling can feel healthy, at another level this same thought, feeling or behavior can be experienced as problematic. Part of our work together may be determining what is feeling problematic to you, and how we can use your strengths to shift your experiences so that they are more in line with the life you would like to be living.

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.
