Do you struggle with people-pleasing tendencies that affect your relationships with others? Do you tend to put others feelings and needs before your own? Do you struggle with setting boundaries and often avoid conflict? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed by the need to “do it all”. Putting others needs before your own and not taking care of yourself can lead to long-term negative effects on your physical and mental health. I believe that there is hope and encourage others to “fill their cup”!

I provide a holistic, integrative approach to therapy, supporting children, adolescents, and adults in navigating life’s challenges and healing from trauma. With specialized training in EMDR, I help clients understand patterns that impact their lives and create new opportunities for growth. I often integrate creative techniques—like art and music—to engage the brain, reprocess difficult experiences, and build resilience. Creativity is not only a powerful tool for children and teens but also an essential part of the healing process for anyone looking to build resilience, reduce anxiety, and find new pathways forward.

These impact happiness, work, and relationships. Maybe you're new to therapy, tried it before without success, or don't know how to help a loved one.

Deciding to start therapy can be a deeply personal and sometimes difficult step. Finding the right therapist—someone you feel safe with—can be just as challenging. I strive to offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel secure enough to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I believe that true change doesn’t come from shame or self-rejection, but from learning to meet ourselves—our feelings, flaws, and fears—with honesty and compassion. As we grow in self-awareness and self-acceptance, we can begin to loosen the grip of old, limiting patterns and move toward greater freedom and well-being.

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.
