My personal life experiences has given me the unique ability to work with individuals, couples and families who are adjusting to children transitioning out of the home, adjusting to an empty nest, the growing pains of newlyweds, first time parenting challenges, affair recovery and caring for elderly parents and children (the sandwich generation).

Are you struggling to balance it all? I mean struggling to find time for yourself between career, socializing, and other obligations? You’re feeling drained, and you no longer have the time to engage in the “little things” that make you happy without feeling guilty. Sometimes you feel like you don’t know who you are outside of your obligations. Other times, you begin to lash out, become more irritable, yell, or cry because you're overwhelmed and struggling to manage it all. Or maybe the opposite: you're isolating in your room, on the couch, not answering your phone, and not having the energy to make yourself food.

Tension is building inside of you and lashing out or shutting down seem to be the only way to deal with this feeling. But this is not how you want to live your life. Acting in these ways is harming you and your relationships. You vow to stop this, to do things differently, but it keeps happening over and over again. They say you are “too sensitive” or you need to “lighten up.” But it just feels like no one sees you or understands you. There is so much responsibility on you and when you are dismissed the resentment gets even bigger. You can't imagine how therapy can possibly help when it feels like everyone else is the problem.

We all experience difficult life moments. However, those moments do not have to define us. I believe counseling is a powerful tool that can allow for the opportunity for growth and change. I have been practicing in the field of psychology for 12 years; working with a variety of life issues and mental health symptoms. Further, it is important to acknowledge that therapy is multifaceted. Engaging in therapy does not always have to be related to problems/mental health. It can also be a way of learning more about oneself and gaining tools for preventative measures. My objective is always about enhancing ones quality of life.

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.
