I help people make sense of life. My background is in the clinical-health/mental health field, and I'm also an ordained minister. That means my background allows me to assist you right where you are, not by any preconceived ideas of what you should or shouldn't be doing. My primary source of counseling is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (or CBT). This is a method of discovering together how the decisions you've made in the past, or the circumstances you've lived through, have brought you to where you are. It's not about blame - it's about helping you to empower yourself to have the life worth living you are seeking.

It's been my experience that people usually seek therapy when they have tried everything they know to improve their life and it's just not working. Clients are often quite desperate when they enter therapy. I believe my job as a therapist is to give people new options for what to do to make things better. I try to help with kindness and humor, drawing on a wealth of knowledge, information, and experience to help my clients achieve their goals, whatever they may be. I am continually awed by the amazing ability of the human spirit to grow, heal, and develop.

Anxiety does not allow your brain to have an "off" button. You are always on edge, feeling tense, alert, exhausted, even when you try to relax. You are always waiting for the other shoe to drop, and find yourself nagged by inner accusations that you are not enough. You wonder, “What is wrong with me?” "Why can't I calm down?" "How do other women do this?" You've lost yourself somewhere in your quest to measure up. What if I told you that you are not alone in this struggle? Feeling this way is optional, and there is a way to be more of who you want to be, to be more of yourself.

You probably already know at least some of what you wish were different in your life. Often the things we wish were different we have wanted to change for months, years, or even decades. Counseling often has a balanced focus on helping you learn how to cope with present day symptoms while at times looking back to become free from old patterns of responding. Those old patterns that at one time may have been necessary in order to survive, now may be the very thing limiting your ability to thrive and realize your potential.

Life stops for no one, under no circumstance. Sometimes it feels like you're standing still while the world moves around you. Maybe you are going through a phase of life you thought would bring joy, such as expanding your family or retiring from a job. But instead, you've found this change to be stressful and disappointing. Or maybe you're faced with one of life's challenges such as dealing with a new health condition or grieving the loss of a loved one. You're now questioning how to get through this time of your life.

Do you dread the blaring of the early morning alarm? You hit snooze one too many times and now scramble to get your day started on time, chugging caffeine, just trying to get through the day. You spend evenings checked out on the couch, mindlessly scrolling your phone, with the tv blaring away in the background. There's more to life...right?! You know you can get decent sleep, not survive on caffeine, and actually enjoy your evenings. Sometimes we need a little support to get there. It’s okay to need help getting back to living a life you don’t want to escape.

Have you been feeling stressed, anxious about the future, or hopeless in life? These feelings can rob us of the joy and peace that we could be enjoying today. Life can be messy and at times seem unforgiving. You’re not alone in this. You may not be able to control what happens to you, but you can control how you face obstacles and how you overcome them. You may have difficulties in your relationships at home or the office. Perhaps you’ve lost a loved one, are concerned about your substance use, or simply feel like you’re struggling to make it through the day. If this describes you, it's time to take a step towards feeling better.

I believe that trauma affects all parts of our being- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Therefore, the healing process also needs to involve all parts of our being. Attachment wounds, abusive relationships with themselves and others, specific traumatic events, losses that need grieving, generational trauma and high conflict functioning in families affect how we view ourselves and interact with the world. Gabor Mate said it best, “ We may not be responsible for the world that created our minds, but we can take responsibility for the mind with which we create our world.” Look below for the current groups I am offering!

I view each individual through a holistic lens, combining mindfulness-based techniques, a person-centered approach, and believe in the mind-body connection. Yoga can also be added to sessions as a way to process emotions and to address self-care.

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.
