Working with a diverse client population is what keeps me going and motivated each day. I enjoy getting to know the lives of each of my clients and learning what make them tick. Each of us have so much to offer the world as well as each other and we sometimes lose sight of that. Whether you are struggling with issues around gender identity, your past traumas and their current effects, or looking to improve your family or intimate relationships, I would love to work with you as you grow and learn ways to improve your life on your terms. You are the author of your own novel and I would enjoy helping you fill the pages with positivity.

We can’t avoid pain or erase traumatic experiences but we don’t have to suffer. We suffer when our inner distress grabs hold of our decision making. We beat ourselves up and move further away from others. Sometimes we don’t recognize who we see in the mirror. I want to help people move closer to the person they want to be and the people they care about. I will try my hardest to help clients unhook from their painful thoughts and feelings and traumatic experiences so they can be engaged in the world in more meaningful ways. I love coaching families with young kids how to help their kids make positive changes very quickly using PCIT.

When dealing with unexpected change, it can be difficult to cope and continue living life positively. Anxiety and depression are only a few of the emotions that someone can experience after a major life transition. I believe that it is important to find your strengths to work to process feelings that lie under the surface. Every person is different and adapting treatment to fit the client's needs is most important. I hope to work with clients who are having difficulties with change and processing emotions. This would include, but inot limited to, individuals with anxiety and depression, trauma, mood disorders, and somatic disorders.

You are a millennial woman living in Charleston and you know you “should” be happy... But the truth is, you are struggling so much. On paper everything seems great! You have a decent job, a few friends... but inside you feel like you are absolutely losing it. You feel lost, stuck, and miserable too much of the time. Your life isn't where you want it to be. Panic attacks have become the norm. You cry more than you'd like to admit. And yeah, maybe a glass of wine is the best part of your day.

In addition to counseling, I also provide life coaching for clients who want to make changes but aren't sure where to start.

Another day with anxiety. Racing thoughts, tight chest, can’t breathe, with emotions all over the place. You want more from life – healthy relationships, hitting goals, and to make a difference – but you can’t figure out how to get there. You feel the anxiety, but it doesn’t make sense – life seems fine. It pops up out of nowhere – when you’re getting dressed in the morning or out on a date. You’re frustrated, trying to push past it but that only makes it worse. You see other people with loving and committed partners, great family relationships, or thriving friendships, and don’t think that will ever be you. Is it even possible?

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.
