As a surfer, yogi, and world traveler, I am passionate about helping my clients find ways to heal to live their happiest, most expansive lives. My approach to healing is holistic and also unique to who you are; no one size fits all. Are you neurodivergent or have other unique ways of seeing the world? Have you always hoped to meditate, breath work, or learn other nervous system regulation techniques but need some guidance? We might be a good fit, if so. I am an LGBTQ+ ally and have worked with many teens, adults, and couples in my practice.

I offer therapy online via video, or sessions can be over the phone if you prefer.
Most people experience times in life when they don’t know how to cope or don’t know what to do about something they are struggling with. Some people struggle for years, either alone or in their relationships, before they are ready to talk with someone about things they want to change in their life. Some feel content in life except in one area, and they could use an unbiased third party to help them solve that last piece of their puzzle. Whatever your reason is, seeking help is not easy, and it is a brave move that speaks volumes of your readiness to better your life.

I liken therapy to taking a road trip. You know where you want to go, but maybe don’t know how to get there. So, you might consult a map, or use a navigation app. In this “therapy road trip”, you are the driver, reaching your goals is your destination, and I am the map/navigator. You have control of the wheel, but I will help you find your way.

Looking for guidance going from 'Roommates' to Romantic partners, again? I specialize in working with partners who love each other but feel emotionally or physically disconnected—longing to bring back the passion, playfulness, and peace they once shared. They’re tired of surface-level fixes and crave real healing that reaches mind, body, and soul. Their goals are to rebuild trust, restore desire, and communicate with compassion. I guide clients to uncover emotional blocks, balance their energy, and reawaken intimacy through evidence-based therapy and holistic integrative medicine. Transformation begins with one conversation.

FAQ - About Telehealth Therapy
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.

Is online therapy covered by insurance?
In most cases, online therapy with a licensed therapist or psychologist is covered by insurance under the same criteria as in-person therapy sessions, which is largely due to the significant increase in online therapy use during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This means that as long as the therapist is "in-network" with the client's insurance, and the client meets the coverage criteria imposed by the insurance, they are eligible for online therapy insurance coverage. Depending on the client's plan, there may be applicable co-pays and/ or deductibles that the client is subject to.
