Life can be described as a beautiful gift, and it is also true that life can present us with circumstances that seem unfair and insufferable. When this occurs, we could benefit from support that enables us to develop self-awareness, obtain clarity, identify choices, accept accountability, foster growth, learn skills, build resilience, pursue freedom, and feel heard, seen, accepted, and encouraged as we navigate our reality. Asking for help is challenging for many reasons, but being receptive to help can bring about a multitude of blessings. I would love to serve as a source of hope and optimism during your therapeutic experience.

Clients have expressed that my positivity and humor, mixed with realism and accountability, are helpful in the therapy process. Together we will build an authentic connection, get to the core of recurring problems, and heal from life events. One of my favorite quotes is, “No one knows you better than yourself”. Even so, at times we struggle to heal and make changes on our own. Sometimes we need help evaluating our relationships and experiences from a new perspective.

I believe that the past impacts who we are but it does not need to define who you can become.

Therapy? It is difficult to make the decision to enter into therapy but even more important to find a therapist in which you feel comfortable. Understanding these feelings of others have allowed me to be in practice for over fifteen years. Making the first step to call can be a difficult process and I pride myself in empathizing with this difficulty. I have made it part of my practice serving children, adolescents, and adults to take the time to relate to each individual on an individual basis and attempt to make each client to feel comfortable making this difficult step.

My goal when a client comes in to my office is for them to feel like they are safe to share anything. Most of my clients have experienced hardships or trauma that can be hard to talk about, but it's often necessary to heal. I am curious to learn about the lives people have lived and what has molded and shaped them. There are so many heavy aspects of life that we can carry. I take a holistic approach to identifying problem areas, understanding how the mind and body are connected in storing trauma, emotions, patterns of familial influence, and figuring out how to break out of cycles that limit people from living a fulfilling life.

I will tailor treatment to fit your unique needs and situation, while we work together to process through your concerns and harness your strength and resiliency.

My ideal client is one that is their authentic self in sessions. I find that when a client is open and honest about who they are and what they struggle with they are also more successful at achieving their goals. I typically see teens and adults who struggle with things like: anxiety, OCD, depression, perfectionism, fear of failure, grief, trauma, and life transitions. I find that most clients want to be heard, understood and validated.

Hello! I'm Miranda, a clinical social worker who is passionate about working with children ages 10 and younger. I strive to provide a safe, natural, and welcoming environment for children to come and make sense of life's various challenges in the most appropriate way- through play. Therapeutic play encourages children to express their feelings and struggles, and model what is happening in their world. They learn to solve their problems, accept themselves and others, regulate and develop self control, build coping skills and resilience, grow their self-esteem and emotional vocabulary, and understand others' perspectives.

I know you're "fine, totally fine, absolutely fine"...but just in case you're a little "not fine", I'm here. Maybe you are here because people whom you’ve naturally turned to for care and protection have hurt or neglected you in some way. Or maybe you're here because you have found yourself unable to honor the commitments and promises that you have made to yourself; or those whom you love due to your addictive behaviors. It takes time to allow the reality behind our symptoms to reveal themselves. Treatment can help you feel more present in the moment, in control of your world, compassionate towards all of your parts, and safe.

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.
