"Hope is being able to see that there is light despite of all of the darkness"-Tutu. My desire is to assist teens, adults, and families overcome obstacles by helping them see that there is "light". I especially have a passion for working with teens and adolescents. I have worked with children and adolescents ages 3-19 in the education and school counseling field for over 15 years. As a school counselor, LPC, and overcoming many obstacles myself, I understand some of the needs and struggles that children and families encounter today.

The relationship between a psychologist and a client is unique. It provides a context for the client to express a range of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, a chance to clarify the struggles within and outside them, and the opportunity to work with another person who encourages movement toward your goals with an understanding of the ways we get "off course" sometimes. Clients willing to learn, work toward flexibility of thought and are consciously motivated to change themselves have more success with me. I am also intensely interested in working with those reluctant to try psychological interventions.

Do you feel stuck in old ways of thinking? Overwhelmed in your mind and not sure how to break free? In your past, you may have had to be the one to 'push through' difficult situations even in childhood. You may have had to grow up fast, 'be self-sufficient' as a child, or be a 'parent' to your own parents or siblings. Childhood trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, self-doubt, deep insecurity & shame all end up working together to stand in the way of your personal wellness. But they don't have to. I enjoy helping clients heal from their past, while realizing the power that they have within their own life in the present.

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.
