I've experienced a number of roles in my seven+ decades of life that I believe has prepared me for working with darn near anything a prospective client can bring to our session. I've lived the majority of my life in southern California with the exception of when I moved to the mid-west while earning my undergraduate degree in Social Work/Psychology. Since there was very little $ to be made as an entry level Social Worker, I took off into the world of business, where I had positions that ranged from a Shipping Clerk to a Regional Sales Manager. I have an adult son from my first marriage.

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." -Maya Angelou. It's so important for each of us to feel valued, appreciated and understood. I believe this applies to all relationships including the therapeutic relationship. My goal as a therapist is to work with you to provide support in times of distress and to assist you in finding your right path on your journey.

In person sessions available in Mason, OH, and online via video.
Life is hard, and managing relationships can make it harder. Sure we know how to talk to one another, but are we really communicating? This is why a major focus of mine is working to improve communication skills within relationships as well as with individuals. It is also important to me to provide a space where sex, sexuality, or any sexual dysfunction can be explored safely for clients. Especially when often there has not been opportunity or space for that to occur. I strive to provide facts and sex education to help clients better understand themselves and normalize their experiences. This is a space for you to be you.

When anxiety overtakes your life, it can feel impossible to regain control. That anxiety may be rooted in a traumatic event, a major life transition, or the luck of the genetic lottery. Individual therapy is a helpful way to explore what you're experiencing, learn new strategies for coping, and find healthy control in your life. Since 2008, I've worked in the mental health field with a broad range of individuals and symptoms. Now I want to distill my experience and training to focus on helping individuals with trauma-related symptoms, OCD, and anxiety. I offer a unique blend of EMDR, IFS-informed therapy, ERP, CBT, and mindfulness.

I have always liked this quote: "People who need help sometimes look a lot like people who don't need help." I am drawn to this quote and to counseling because I am a person who has lived through a storm or two. And, although your storm and mine may not look the same, I believe we all have common needs: to heal from something in our past, to overcome stress, fear and anxiety that makes us feel powerless and hopeless, or to navigate through an important relationship that is difficult.

Thank you for stopping on my profile. I’m a simple person. As a therapist, I treasure every interaction. Most of my experience as a licensed counselor and working in mental and behavioral health has been working with children and adolescents - particularly those struggling to regulate emotions and manage behaviors. I believe the difference between working with young people versus people of any age is just stage of life. People develop over time but maturity -in itself- does not resolve impact from the ‘stuff’ they experience and carry throughout their lifetime.

FAQ - About Telehealth Therapy
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.
