You feel stuck. At this point in your life, you thought you’d have relationships down - your marriage or partnership would feel meaningful, hard but fulfilling. Instead your interactions with your partner, and perhaps your family, friends, or coworkers. leave you feeling misunderstood, frustrated and alone. How the hell are other people able to “click”? This wasn’t how you envisioned how love would feel in your life.

You and your partner are struggling to communicate. The emotional intimacy has lost its spark and physical connection is fading. We aren't connecting and the stress is high. You want to heal together instead of growing apart. You want to be a better partner! You need to shake up how you talk to each other in order to make this to work; there is so much at stake to maintain the relationship you've built. There is so much you want to share with your partner, and you need help learning how to engage again. You can learn how to be vulnerable with one another by increasing your communication skills and learning how to listen again.

The most important relationship you have is with yourself. My goal is to support you in finding healing and wholeness by re-connecting you with who you really are at the core: before the trauma happened, before life changed unexpectedly, before the conditioning that made you feel less-than, underneath the lingering depression and anxiety. These are all roadblocks on your unique journey, and together we'll explore them so that you can move into your best life, with awareness and peace.

Sacred Psychotherapy is the name of my practice. The therapy I offer blends my fifty years of both psychological and spiritual training. Psychologically, we each have a unique personality. As infants, the thing we need most, besides sustenance, is love. If we receive loving input, we can learn to love ourselves. If we are treated harshly, we can learn to dislike ourselves. Spiritually, we each also have a unique soul. My therapy with you can address questions like: What is the meaning of my life? and How do I rise rather than fall when things get hard? I see psychotherapy as a joint journey of the two of us.

Are you overly critical of yourself? Do you have difficulty making decisions because you struggle with anxiety or lack self-trust? Do you find yourself putting everyone else’s needs before your own to the point of exhaustion? Have you experienced a significant loss but feel like you don’t have the time or don't know how to process your grief? If this sounds familiar, you probably feel like it’s time for change. This might mean relief from second guessing yourself, or the ability to navigate difficult emotions, or developing the tools to live with more confidence, peace and ease.

We love to collaborate with clients to help them draw from their own expertise, build on their own positive values, discover their own skills, and use these new tools to work through conflicts and hardships. We are systems therapist. What that means is: we like to approach problems that people have within the context of social, political and cultural storylines that influence the way we view ourselves and our own personal stories. We use this same approach in family therapy to seek ways to change the way the family system works rather than trying to "fix" a specific family member.

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.
