I have experience working with diverse populations and a wide array of mental health concerns. I am really excited that you've decided to take the plunge and try therapy. We will go at your pace and use the modalities you are most comfortable with and methods of communication and scheduling that works best for you! My goal is to help you. I tell my clients, you would not feel compelled to select the first car you test drive, you should not feel compelled to keep the first therapist you encounter. Try a few and pick the one that is the most comfortable for you! Personality matching matters. Therapy is a relationship above all else.
I have diverse experiences in the field, but am particularly knowledgeable regarding mood, anxiety, eating disorders, postpartum depression/anxiety/OCD, family and couples issues, and young adult concerns. I use an array of evidence based practices to help my clients feel better and make progress toward their goals. Some of my favorites are CBT, DBT, and ACT. I also love some specific family modalities for family and couples concerns. If this is all alphabet soup to you, don't worry, the letters aren't important!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
