I work with couples, families and adults who are seeking support and guidance with relationship issues and healing from painful childhoods and traumatic experiences. Many people I treat present with relationship distress, adjustment problems, symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD. I have been in practice for more than 20 years, have completed multiple post-graduate certifications (ie. AEDP; EFT with couples, families and individuals; Discernment Counseling), and am passionate about providing effective psychotherapy. Additionally, I enjoy providing therapy and consultation to therapists with similar interests.

Is worry or anxiety disrupting your life? Does it feel like no matter what you try, nothing works? Are you struggling to change habits that only seem to make things worse? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here. Maybe you've resorted to drinking, prescriptions or marijuana to feel some relief. Maybe it's time you got some help. And I know this is hard. You've likely been thinking about seeking help for months, maybe even longer.

The connection is lost, communication broken, and intimacy scarce. How did we end up here in our relationship? Trying to discuss anything ourselves deteriorates into a bickering episode. Our impatience and frustration don’t allow for listening and compromise. We just don't seem to be on the same page anymore. Trying to fall asleep at night is next to impossible as the hurtful argument from earlier replays over and over. With so many unmet expectations and a lack of fulfillment, we are drifting further apart and feeling more alone. It’s been like this for such a long time, where do we begin to find the love and bond we once had?

Everyone thinks you have it all together but in reality, you’re exhausted. The fear of judgment forces you to suppress your feelings. So you keep a smile on your face to continue showing up for others even when you don’t want to, because you don’t want to let them down. You’ve found yourself feeling tired, isolated and frustrated because no one understands and shows up for you when you need it most, but you still manage to push through each day. The time for a change has been long overdue, but figuring out where to start is a challenge all in itself.

I want to say hello and acknowledge the strength, courage and determination it takes to seek help. Therapy can be an enriching, powerful journey. People come to therapy because they want something to change and want to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the world around them. Therapy can also be uncomfortable and hard work. Experience has taught me that human beings possess the most amazing resilience, strength, and capacity to heal, whatever challenges they have faced in life. I work to build on these strengths to help people achieve the changes that they want in life, and challenge what doesn't work.

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.
