In my office we will laugh a lot but we will also work very hard. More than just a psychological travel agent I strive to be a tour guide leader. Your journey is not my journey but I walk with you, in the muck with you, as you determine where to go.

With more than a decade of experience in hospitals, clinics, and private practice, I am guided by the belief that there is more that’s right with people, than is wrong with people. There is much about the way we live that contributes to the feeling of disconnection and destabilization that so many of us feel. And yet, few of us were ever taught the skills to navigate the seemingly simple (but actually pretty complex) worlds that we live in.

Emotional wellness starts with learning how to be mindful and present within your own life. Opening up and asking for support isn't easy; I can certainly empathize. In the past, I prided myself on solving things on my own, which I thought was "healthy emotional independence." However, throughout my experiences and struggles, I found clearer insight and more strength having an ally to open up to, an objective individual to gain perspective. It's nice to have a champion AND a challenger to help through life's curveballs. I would be honored to accompany and provide support on the path toward the best version of you

Sometimes, for different reasons, childhood doesn’t unfold for our children as we planned. I offer a space where children can come back to play—at their own pace—and feel safe enough to be curious, connected, and more fully themselves. I work with children (ages 0–11), along with their caregivers and families. I support children experiencing anxiety, behavioral challenges, trauma, attachment disruptions, and school-related difficulties. I also care deeply about children’s social and emotional development, and I work alongside caregivers to better understand and support what their child may be communicating through their behavior.

I enjoy working with clients navigating pregnancy/parenthood and other life transitions. I know that this stage of life can be filled with excitement, anxiety, and so many other emotions. When we are faced with change or transitions in life, it can stir things up and make it challenging to navigate. This can be especially confusing when the change is wanted or exciting, like becoming a parent or bringing another child into the home. My goal is to meet you where you are and work together to foster growth and change.

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.
