I can provide in-person and online.
Do you struggle with confidence, feeling good enough, or just being gentle with yourself? I specialize in offering long-term therapy to those who have had long-standing issues. I've worked with parents and children together, teenagers struggling with their life stage, adult couples, and individual adults who are ready to learn skills to help them manage what they've been dealing with for a long time. I'm not a very formal person. I bring a more relaxed approach, with high collaboration.

I offer therapy in person or online, depending on what fits best for you.
I am a licensed social worker with over 20 years of experience with children and families, and I understand that life sometimes forces us to reimagine how we see the world. Difficult situations involving our families, our bodies, and our ability to care for ourselves or loved ones may cause us to feel anxious or lonely. Losses can overwhelm us, making tasks feel insurmountable. I believe that everyone is capable of healing, and we can get stuck when we try to work through experiences on our own. Talking with someone can be the first step in sorting through your thoughts, and making meaningful progress toward personal well-being.

Life is full of tough things. Support along the way can make a difference, particularly when it is offered in a welcoming, accepting and empathetic manner. My years of social service experience have given me a strong foundation in meeting clients where they are and hearing their needs and goals. I consider it a huge privilege when clients let me in to their lives; recognizing they are trusting me with their pain, hopes, families and lives in so many ways.

I also work with neurodiversity, problem video game use, and problem phone use.
While I believe that there is no one size fits all approach to therapy; I am extensively trained in Cognitive-Behavior Therapy as well as EMDR. With CBT, you will learn to "Be your own therapist" by understanding how your thoughts influence your feelings and actions. In EMDR, you will heal from past trauma using your brain's own healing processes.

My ideal client feels stuck—overwhelmed by stress, grief, trauma, or insomnia—and wants to feel more grounded, connected, and in control. They may struggle to express emotions, carry heavy responsibilities, or feel disconnected from others. They seek clarity, relief, and lasting change, and are open to exploring both verbal and creative ways to heal and grow.

Hello I offer online and in person services, with a nerdy and weird aesthetic.
As your therapist, I'm here to be present while you share your experiences. I appreciate the mindset, “To be clear is to be kind” and bring that into the therapy room. You are the expert on your own life, experiences, feelings, and behaviors, but there may be times when you need a little help sorting that out. I have a quirky outlook on the world that allows me to provide a safe, genuine, real experience that helps you to navigate through the absurdity of life. I enjoy working with adults, teens 16 and up, LGBTQI+, neuroqueer, and traditional and nontraditional relationships.

Where to begin? This question is so frequently asked and the answer is more simple than most think. The answer is to begin by allowing someone to help. Just allowing someone to provide you a space where you can begin your journey with support and acceptance. At the Center For Healing And Hope, therapy provides an environment of acceptance and understanding in which you and your therapist can work together to address any difficulties or challenges you may be facing.

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.
