I offer online therapy sessions on Fridays and Saturdays and some evening appointments during the week.
I believe that with the right support system combined with an individual's readiness to change, positive transformation and healing is possible. I offer compassionate listening and creative therapeutic techniques with the goal of empowering my clients to navigate their own lives and feel safe in their bodies. I blend talk therapy with somatic movement and breath/body attunement, which creates space for nervous system regulation, introspection and self-awareness.

Your mind is always running—overthinking, second-guessing, replaying conversations, and trying to predict every possible outcome. You may feel like you have it all together on the outside, but inside, anxiety is running the show. Maybe you struggle with high-functioning anxiety, feeling pressure to perform at work while battling imposter syndrome and burnout. Or perhaps childhood experiences have shaped how you navigate relationships—leaving you feeling disconnected, fearful of conflict, or questioning your own worth. The weight of these patterns can make everyday life exhausting, but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

You’ve worked hard to move forward, but no matter how much you try to push past it, the weight of your childhood still lingers. Maybe you struggle with self-doubt, find it difficult to trust others, or feel emotionally distant in relationships. Certain situations trigger reactions you don’t fully understand, leaving you overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that don’t serve you. The past may feel like it’s still shaping your present, making it hard to feel truly secure, at peace, or in control of your life. If this resonates, know that healing is possible and you don’t have to do it alone.

A happy and secure marriage is wonderful, and can be tough to maintain. Keeping your relationship solid during a really difficult season in life is even harder. So many couples struggle to stay connected when they're going through something difficult: trying to have a baby, adjusting to parenthood, job changes, financial stressors, grief, or health issues. Other couples find themselves simply drifting apart: they're not sure when things changed, but one day they looked up and realized their communication sucks and they barely spend time together. And when this happens, so many couples don't know what to do or how to reconnect.

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.
