Online Therapy
One-on-one telehealth sessions for adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, substance use, relational stress, identity concerns, and co-occurring conditions. Sessions are 45 or 30 minutes, structured around your specific history, nervous system, and goals, not a standardized protocol.

Online Group Therapy
Three virtual groups for adults seeking a relational container for healing alongside others navigating similar experiences. Available to residents of NJ, PA, FL, TX, ME, and CO via telehealth, each running when there are enough people for it.

How individual therapy works here
My approach draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, psychodynamic therapy, CBT, DBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing. Rather than applying a single model, I work with what your system can access at any given stage, integrating cognitive insight, body-based awareness, and relational understanding to address patterns at their source rather than managing symptoms at the surface.
Individual therapy here is a collaborative, ongoing process shaped entirely by who you are and what you're working to shift.

The groups
I facilitate three virtual groups for adults seeking a relational container for healing alongside others. Group therapy offers something individual work cannot: the lived experience of being genuinely witnessed, and of witnessing others, in real time. The two process groups run 60 minutes and all three are open to residents of all six states.
The Anxiety Group is a 60-minute process group for adults experiencing anxiety in any of its presentations: generalized, social, panic, or performance-related. Members develop language for their internal experiences, explore how anxiety shapes their relational and behavioral patterns, and build practical skills for regulation and nervous system response.
The Harm Reduction Group is a 60-minute process group for adults who are still drinking or using and want to keep examining that openly. Abstinence is not a condition of joining, quitting is not the assumed goal, and identifying as an addict is not required. The work covers what the substance does and what it costs, alongside trauma, relationships, values and community, on harm reduction terms where you define the goal. Available by inquiry. Full details on format, structure, and current openings are on the virtual group therapy page. The third is an eight week ketamine integration group for adults currently receiving ketamine from a prescriber, which closes to new members after the second session. All three run on demand rather than on a fixed calendar, so a cohort forms once there are enough people for it.
Group therapy is not a substitute for individual work. It's a distinct modality with its own mechanisms of change, and for many clients it becomes the most meaningful part of their treatment.
