I am so excited for you that you decided to do this! Investing in you is the best choice you could ever make! I am not a regular therapist. I use a holistic approach to help you. What that means is that I come from the perspective of what you have been through in your life gets stuck in your body and you will continue to relive it until you know what it is and I help you to relieve it. By doing this, you start to experience life as it is, instead of having the filter from your past or the anxiety about your future. I am here to help you. Are you hungry for change? Buckle up and enjoy your life, let me help. :)

Life transitions can feel overwhelming, especially when balancing motherhood, career demands, and personal well-being. If you’re struggling with anxiety, burnout, or the weight of past trauma, you don’t have to go through it alone. You might be used to holding everything together, yet deep down, you’re craving peace, balance, and relief.

I offer Hybrid therapy which means I provide services online or in-person.
Has a life transition or life event left you feeling overwhelmed, angry, lost or confused? Are you and your partner not communicating anymore? Are you having trouble processing difficult thoughts and feelings? It's natural to feel hesitant about seeking help due to fear, discomfort, or the worry of being judged. A safe and supportive space can be provided through individual therapy sessions or couples counseling where you can explore with compassion and gain insight into what's causing stress. Feeling better can be as simple as validating your experiences and shifting your perspective.

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.
