Waitlist for new clients
Update: Practice is full. Not accepting new clients . Waitlist available. When other clients transition out of therapy or to fewer sessions you will be contacted. I know finding a great therapist is challenging. I am here to help you find a way to improve and heal. Taking the first step towards getting better might be intimidating, but you will be grateful about seeking support once you realize how smooth and easy the therapy experience is, and how much reward there is for you.

The clients who come to me are looking for more than someone to listen and nod. While being "heard" is an important component of counseling, clients experience the most growth when they are challenged to explore themselves and their relationships from more than surface level. I facilitate growth and change by identifying patterns. Do you wonder why you have patience for everyone except yourself or your partner? Do you find yourself getting triggered by seemingly insignificant interaction? Are you a perfectionist? People pleaser? Do you find that achievement of goals hasn't brought you the happiness that you thought it would?

You feel the weight of the world to keep everyone around you happy, comfortable, and taken care of, but you have no clue how to take care of yourself.

You probably don't know exactly when or how it happened, but the person next to you feels like a stranger. Maybe it started when the children came along, or maybe you're just now understanding that you weren't quite as compatible as you thought. You fight over the tiniest things, & it can get ugly so quickly; or you live in frozen silence, with invisible walls between you that sometimes seem impossible to get past. It feels like you barely touch or kiss, much less make love. Maybe one of you is thinking of, or actually having, an affair. How did it come to this? And where do you go now? It can all feel so hopeless and overwhelming.

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.
