I offer therapy sessions via telehealth only and value how accessible this has made therapy for people.
I believe healing happens in the presence of compassion, authenticity, and genuine human connection. Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical—it can be a space where you feel understood, supported, and even able to laugh at times. I strive to create an environment where you can show up exactly as you are, knowing you’ll be met with empathy, curiosity, and respect. I believe that no one is “broken.”Many of us are simply carrying experiences that are too heavy to hold alone. I tailor therapy to you—your goals, your values, and your lived experience. I want to help you feel grounded, empowered and connected to yourself and others.

I currently provide online, in-person and in home therapy options.
I believe every patient should receive evidence based treatments which allow them the best opportunity at real and lasting recovery. This means I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Exposure Therapy in treating OCD, Anxiety Disorders, Mood Disorders and Eating disorders. This allows me to be a very hands on therapist. I regularly take clients out into the community to engage in exposure therapy and behavioral activation which allows me to provide support and encouragement throughout the process. I genuinely believe that OCD, anxiety, depression and eating disorders are very treatable conditions when being treated with effective and active treatments.

Are you experiencing the road as lonely and isolating or feeling confused about your next steps in life? Maybe your race, gender, sexual identity, or world-view is being dishonored, and you feel oppression and injustice.

You may be functioning on the outside but feel internally overwhelmed, tense, or emotionally shut down. Your mind doesn’t slow down, small things feel heavy, and avoiding tasks or conversations has become easier than dealing with them. You might be carrying anxiety, unresolved experiences, or a sense that something isn’t right, but you can’t quite name it. Therapy can help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and learn how to respond differently, rather than just pushing through.

I offer virtual sessions and have ready availability Monday through Thursday most weeks.
For over 14 years, I’ve guided women in rebuilding confidence and reconnecting with themselves through trauma-informed work. Through both individual and group work, I’ve helped clients process trauma, deepen self-awareness, and move toward greater emotional clarity and resilience. Today, my work has expanded to support healers, providers, and innovative leaders who spend their lives caring for others. Holding space for people every day can be deeply meaningful—but it can also be heavy. I offer a place where those who support others can tend to their own mental health, process what they carry, and reconnect with themselves.

I have the privilege of assisting a range of clients, mostly those faced with inordinate circumstances. I enjoy watching people from all walks of life overcome personal difficulties (substance use, anxiety, depression, and symptoms of traumatic experiences, etc.) explore personal strengths to overcome these circumstances and live lives full of experiences they will treasure. There is no greater realization than that of recognizing ones own ability to obtain the freedom of which they have always hoped.

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.
