Asking for help can be a humbling experience. It takes courage and vulnerability to discuss the most intimate details of our life. When people feel safe, people will share. To share, trust needs to be present as it is the foundation of the helping process. In my experience, one constant stands true: where there is hope, there is healing. Where is healing, there is growth. Where there is growth, an improved sense of self develops. As we feel better about ourselves, our relationships with others improve as well. I look forward to partnering with you on this journey. Click my link for a free 15 minute consult. My best.

The trauma of infertility is often unimaginable, unpredictable, and unfair. It is full of loss, sacrifice and a desperate desire for an outcome you fear may never come. The anxiety can be overwhelming. Maybe you are feeling exhausted and alone, terrified of not ever having the life you want. Perhaps you are struggling with feelings of guilt, anger or emptiness and a deep longing for a change in your circumstances. Depression is usually not far behind on this journey and compounds an already shattered worldview.

Many of my clients struggle with the leftovers of both "little T" and "big T" traumas. This may include anything from medical issues, assaults, abuse, chronic toxic stress, grief, generational, or chronic adversity. My clients have shared with me how refreshing it is that I don't just follow a textbook approach. Even when I challenge them, they still feel empowered and in control during our sessions. I believe therapy doesn’t have to be all serious and heavy—there’s room for humor and humanity, too. If you’re looking for a counselor who offers a unique, engaging, and supportive experience, I got you!

Therapy is a process of healing the mind, body and spirit. It produces best results when both the therapist and the client are ready to engage in thoughtful discussions leading toward change. As such, clients who have seen the best results in my care have been motivated, curious and willing to address hard topics in pursuit of health. Issues related to relationships, emotional regulation, exploring past unmet emotional needs, building self-advocacy and addressing internal conflict are well suited to my therapeutic strengths. You come with the raw materials, I come with helpful questions, and together we will build a healthier life.

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.
