I offer Telehealth and in person sessions.
There are many reasons to come to therapy. I specialize in issues with mood and trauma. Issues with mood can result in feelings of anxiety, depression, low mood or mood swings. There are different ways that this can play out in life. You may be trying to manage deep painful emotions, outbursts of anger, feelings of emptiness, low motivation, lethargy or restless energy. Mood issues may result in difficulty making decisions, issues relating to others, feeling dependent on others, having difficulty saying no or asking for help, perfectionism, rigidity or black and white thinking. I work with issues relating to high intellect as well.

I offer therapy on Tuesday afternoons and evenings, online or in person.
I work with women in transition and older adults who are navigating shifting identities, changing family roles, and the complex emotions that come with grief and uncertainty. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from who they once were, or unsure of who they are becoming. I offer a warm, steady space to slow down, explore emotions, build resilience, and strengthen boundaries that honor personal needs. Together, we reconnect with inner wisdom, cultivate purpose, and create room for change. My hope is that you feel seen, empowered, grounded, and more at home within yourself as life continues to change.

I offer daytime and evenings appointments via telehealth and in person appointments on Thursdays in Portsmouth.
I work with children, adolescents, adult individuals, couples and coparents as they navigate various life transitions. Whether a transition is chosen and actively pursued or thrown at you when you least expect it, these points in life are often quite overwhelming. They often come with anxiety, many decisions, and self-doubt. I know the enormous impact that social support can have in these moments. As a therapist, I strive to work with my clients to understand where they are at in a period of transition, how they are coping, and what additional supports, skills or resources can be drawn on to help them during this time.

I am doing sessions via telehealth only.
In my experience people often try to resolve whatever problem they have before seeking out therapy. It's usually when they realize they can't do it alone that they reach out. I know therapy can be intimidating, it requires vulnerability to open up about your personal life, in hopes that you will find some healing. My goal in therapy is to help develop a connection that allows us to explore perspectives in hopes that this will allow for insight and growth to occur. I am engaging, direct, and care about you being able to heal in whatever way this may look.

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.
