Who you are is not up for debate. I place the intersections of identity at the forefront of my practice because identity frames who we are and how we experience the world. Those who experienced Childhood Sexual Abuse know it can negatively impact every area of your life. This type of trauma can lead to isolation, guilt, shame, sexual problems, depression, anxiety, relationship troubles and so much more. It is time to take back your life. I can help you break free from the hold your past abuse still has on you today. Together we can explore new interventions and tools, develop new skills and rewrite your narrative. You deserve this!

You and your partner have decided to give an open relationship a shot. Congratulations. And, oh shit! Old ways of communicating with each other aren’t working. You’re anxious and suddenly suck at supporting each other. You used to be a team. Now conflicts feel impossible to resolve. Your sex life has deteriorated, adding to growing resentments. Constantly embroiled in arguments over misunderstandings, the friction is tearing your relationship apart. You worry that you’re not going to make it as a couple. Jealousy, inadequacy and guilt have taken over. The pain this is causing your partner is too much bear.

You’re exhausted. You are a sensitive, unique soul, and you’re tired of spinning your wheels. You put a lot of pressure on yourself. You know you can do better in several areas, but you’re not sure where to start. Thinking about it, alone, makes you feel overwhelmed. You’re scared that when you finally take the leap and reach out to someone for help, nothing will change. They won’t get you, won’t see the real you. You’re not even sure you can open up enough for real change, but you know you want to try, with someone smart and sincere to help you make sense of things, no bullshit.

My clients are children, adolescents, adults and parents experiencing life stressors, struggling with relationships, striving for personal growth or seeking change. My work commonly addresses symptoms such as anxiety, depression or general difficulty functioning in one or more areas. I use an eclectic and collaborative style to best serve each client. My highly individualized and integrative approach draws from a variety of techniques depending on specific therapeutic goals and needs. When working with children and adolescents, I find it is important and most effective if I collaborate closely with their parents to support the family system and promote optimal outcomes.

Therapy is the process of moving closer to yourself, of building and strengthening your role as your own healer. It is a collaborative process rooted in a trusting, supportive relationship that involves play and celebration as much as it involves discomfort and struggle. I work from a trauma informed, sex positive, and LGBTQ+ affirmative perspective to support the development of a sense of safety in sessions. I am in a frequent state of growth in confronting my own internalized racism and dismantling structures of oppression. My approach is informed by Spiritual Psychology, IFS, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.

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.
