I don't solve problems. What I do is work with clients and teach you how to problem solve!! And then we practice that skill together. No matter the age of my client nor the reason that brings them to my office, I want to be clear that this is a team approach. That having a neutral party to speak with; someone who will not judge but someone with whom you can share your concerns and issues can make all of the difference in the world in bringing about the changes that you desire.

I offer sessions both in-person from my ocean themed office and online via video.
I really believe in the relationship between a therapist and a client is one of the most important elements in a client's success. Therapy can be a wonderful tool for the variety of life challenges that we all face. Each client will present with their own unique needs and therapy should be tailored to each individually. I work best with clients who are looking to address symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as those who want to change their violent/aggressive behaviors or problematic sexual behaviors but are unclear on the path. I want to help clients work on emotional regulation and enjoying the present moment.

Congratulations on having the courage to change and to ask for help. Life can be a stressful process for all of us. Sometimes we feel alone and afraid and wish we had someone to talk to outside of our immediate family and friends. Perhaps we've tried the same behaviors over and over and wonder why we don't have different results. It can be very helpful to talk to someone who can look at our concerns and difficulties from a different perspective and shed new light. Once we feel deeply understood and become more mindful of our own values and beliefs, we are able to try new healthier behaviors that help us get our needs met in life.

Hello! I'm Dr. G - I believe therapy is transformative. That being said, therapy is not “one size fits all,” and finding what works for you is a critical part of the process. My personal style combines kindness and understanding with humor and honesty. I also believe understanding oneself and finding personal agency in powerless or overwhelming experiences is the unpinning to healing and freedom from suffering. Please reach out if you have any questions about therapy, mental health, or my practice.

I believe that people do the best they can in any given moment. Therapy can be a useful way of learning new skills, identifying maladaptive patterns and recognizing inherent strengths. Sometimes current life circumstances, past trauma or relational difficulties can leave us feeling confused or stuck. Having a safe, objective place to sort this out can be a healthy way to move forward. I love helping people find renewed energy, balance and peace.

I work with children, adolescents, and young adults, with emotional or behavioral difficulties. The issues I see most in my practice are: anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and family relationship difficulties. I work primarily from a strengths-based, cognitive -behavioral approach, using psycho-education, coping skills training, and positive psychology. With adult clients, I explore the impact their family of origin has had -- good and bad---and help them develop healthy habits in response to those issues. Always, I feel the relationship between client and counselor is part of the healing.

Pain may be an inevitable part of life, but we know there's life beyond it. So, how do we heal? How do we find meaning and joy? How can we see ourselves and the world clearly? As your therapist, I will bring warmth, compassion, humor, and deep listening to exploring your life stories. Personally, I’ve reckoned with job and relationship changes, parenting, health issues, financial challenges, spiritual questions, grief, and many other human experiences. Having lived overseas, I enjoy working with people of varied identities and backgrounds whose common thread is motivation for change and ability to reflect on ourselves and our lives.

Problem solving is a process and offering strategies, improved perspective and healthy coping skills are all part of this process. Do you find yourself asking why your children behave the way they do? Why they don't appear to listen? Why are you always repeating yourself? Do you find yourself often stressed or worried? Are there days you wonder why nothing seems to get done? Are you looking to better define yourself and your own goals, looking to improve your self-confidence and your relationships?

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.
