A person, not just a set of symptoms
You may be managing relationships, daily responsibilities, and changes in mood while trying to make sense of your experience. You may also be tired of explaining yourself. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore what feels difficult and what you want help with. We can begin with the concerns that matter most to you, rather than expecting you to present a polished account of your life.
How we might work together
In early sessions, we explore patterns, difficult moments, and the goals you want to bring into therapy. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at connections between thoughts, emotions, and actions. Depending on your needs, our conversations may also draw on ACT, solution-focused work, and culturally sensitive care. There is no single timeline or guaranteed result. We will talk about whether my approach and online format are appropriate for you.
Therapy and other care
I provide psychotherapy, not medication prescribing. If you are seeing a psychiatrist or another prescriber, ask about how care could fit together. I do not coordinate with other providers unless we have talked about it and you have agreed. Please do not assume that service is included. Online outpatient therapy is not a substitute for emergency care or every level of mental health support. We need to consider your current needs and whether a different setting or additional support is appropriate.
What should I ask before starting?
Can I work with you if I have bipolar disorder?
Bipolar disorder and serious mental illness are part of my work. We still talk about your needs, the support you already have, and whether online therapy with me is a fit.
Do you prescribe medication?
No. My role here is psychotherapy as an LCSW. Medication questions belong with a qualified prescriber. If we ever coordinate with that prescriber, we will talk about your consent first.
Can I use therapy during a crisis?
This website and routine outpatient appointments are not emergency services. Call or text 988, call 911, or go to the nearest ER if you need immediate help.
