Welcome to my online therapy practice, a place where compassion meets technology to support your mental and emotional well-being. As a licensed therapist, I specialize in offering personalized and confidential online sessions, tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. My practice focuses on empowering adults and adolescents through evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Trauma-Informed Care. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or relationship issues, I'm here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore, grow, and heal. Embracing the flexibility and convenience of virtual therapy, I am committed to helping you navigate life's challenges and discover a path toward lasting well-being, all from the comfort of your own space.  

I use the Simple Practice platform that has both video and secured messaging for counseling sessions. This program also collects payment and allows you to see your therapist in the comfort of your home.  

With technology, you can experience all the benefits of in-person therapy on secure, easy-to-use, high-quality internet platforms. Online sessions allow you to do therapy in the comfort of your own home or allow you flexibility in environments that best suit you. It can be especially helpful to those who find it challenging to travel to an office for appointments due to location, work, children at home, lifestyle, or other practical or personal reasons. While there are multiple ways that counseling can take place online, I work primarily with face-to-face video conferencing via Zoom and, on occasion, telephone sessions. I always hold my sessions in a quiet and confidential space, giving you the same confidentiality & professionalism that you experience within an office setting. Most, if not all, of my clients, find virtual sessions to be highly effective and convenient. They allow for the comfort and safety of therapy in your own space, and no travel time is often less vulnerable than needing to go to an office. Research of multiple studies finds that online therapy is equally effective as in-person for most cases. That being said I always advocate for what works best for each individual and it is wonderful to have choices to find your best path whichever that may be. If you are not super-computer savvy or are anxious about how to use technology, I will work to make it as seamless as possible. I have chosen a platform that is easy to use and I am happy to assist you with any questions or concerns. A common concern I hear from clients regarding online therapy is finding a quiet and/or confidential space when you’re homebound with children and/or family members or roommates. Be sure and scope this out in advance so you are guaranteed quiet and privacy during your session. Since it is so convenient many times people forget to allow themselves a few minutes to "switch hats" and allow themselves a few breaths and get settled into being present and in the head/body space for your session. Headphones or Airpods can often make audio clearer or ensure more privacy but are not necessary. Given that video sessions can be conducted on your smartphone, clients have found it helpful to go to a park, sit in their car in the driveway, and/or walk around your neighborhood. Get creative and support yourself. Find a private space that allows you to receive support no matter where you are. You are welcome to have pets join your space if you find that comforting, and supporting, and you may see my fellow feline/canine therapists join in one of our sessions on my end.

I work with individuals, couples and families in-person, by phone, and by Skype, Doxy & FaceTime.  

As I do in-office and online sessions I have found many advantages and disadvantages to each venue. My experience of teaching online has provided me with a comfort and knowledge in knowing how to provide an effective therapeutic experience, which includes the use of apps and online forms, videos and illustrations. I have found that clients adapt rapidly to the online process, and almost everything done in an office can be accomplished. The convenience of this approach is attractive to most clients. There are, however, limitations to online versus a live setting. The ability to observe and interact in an office provides a much more informative and in-depth connection, and the options for therapeutic physical exercises. As much of my work is based on carefully observing and hearing useful nuances in an individuals behavior - how the information I gain from your body, especially eyes, and voice, can often be more important than just what you are saying. In either case therapy can be done effectively online and in the office, and it is up to my skills as a therapist to collaboratively create effective sessions with you.  

I understand that making it to an office can be difficult with scheduling. I use confidential video software for sessions. As with in-person therapy, we will work together to set goals, work through unresolved trauma and become the version of yourself that you would like to be!  

I offer the option of online therapy for Florida residents, and residents of states included in Psypact. In person sessions in Naples are available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. In person sessions in Miami are available on Fridays and Saturdays.

I address anxiety, life transitions, stress, family and relational dynamics, and trauma, and also welcome those without a specific diagnosis who are simply striving for improved well-being. The journey can be challenging to navigate alone, but recognizing the need for support is the first courageous step towards breaking free from stagnation and experiencing genuine, transformative change. If you're motivated for change but need support finding your path, I'm here.

Our role is to help the client(s) develop common goals in therapy that can facilitate change or improve their well being and quality of life.

My online practice is all about providing a warm and supportive space for people to explore their thoughts and feelings from the comfort of their own homes. Whether navigating stress, relationship challenges, or feeling lost, I'm here to lend an ear and offer guidance. I strive to create a connection that feels as genuine and helpful as an in-person visit through video sessions. The goal is always to help clients feel heard, understood, and equipped with the tools to navigate life's ups and downs.
