I believe each time a child is born, a mother is also born. This change in sense of self and the emotions that come with it are often unpredictable. Coupled with constantly shifting hormones, sleep deprivation, physical discomfort and societal expectations, the postpartum period presents a major life transition mothers struggle through. Many find themselves feeling lost, isolated and alone during a time they anticipated feeling nothing but joy. I am here to support you as you work through your emotions, rediscover yourself through parenthood, find ways to cope with new challenges in life and become the mother you were meant to be.

I believe that every person deserves to be genuinely happy and that no one should face their challenges alone. I am here to provide you with the support and skills you need to manage uncomfortable and unwanted mental health symptoms. While some may imagine their therapy experience to consist of traditional questions such as “how does that make you feel?”, I consider myself more of a modern therapist in which I effectively assist individuals to develop skills and learn tools that help them to manage difficulties in life.

Many of my patients are troubled by low self-esteem. We are often hard on ourselves and need to learn to be more accepting of our own limitations. Being compassionate with ourselves goes hand in hand with becoming kinder and more caring with others. The most common emotional disturbances that lead people to seek therapy are anxiety, depression, and anger management problems. The solution to these troubles involve four categories of irrational thinking. They are tyrannical shoulds, poor frustration tolerance ( I can't stand it), awfulizing/catastrophizing, and harsh rating of ourselves (putting ourselves down).

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.
