ONLINE THERAPY IN PENNSYLVANIA AND WASHINGTON
Individual and Couples Therapy
Greetings,
I'm glad you've taken a moment to visit my website. I appreciate that you're considering therapy and taking the time to learn a little about me and my approach. Whatever brings you here, I hope you'll find information that helps you decide whether working together might be right for you.
People come to therapy for many reasons. Some are struggling with their relationships, while others are dealing with anxiety, depression, past experiences, or circumstances that have become difficult to manage. Sometimes people know exactly what they want to address. Other times, they just know that something isn't working.
I've worked in mental health for more than 20 years, with much of that time spent helping individuals, couples, and families. My experience has taught me that understanding someone's difficulties involves more than looking at symptoms. Our relationships, histories, and environments influence how we experience ourselves and respond to others.
In couples therapy, I often work with people who have become caught in familiar patterns of conflict, distance, or misunderstanding. This can include rebuilding trust after infidelity, addressing communication problems, or exploring whether a relationship can move forward.
I believe therapy works best when people feel respected, understood, and comfortable being themselves. My approach is collaborative, and I try to understand each person's experience without assuming that one perspective is more important than another.
I offer online individual and couples therapy to clients in Pennsylvania and Washington State. I am currently accepting new clients and welcome inquiries about whether my approach might be a good fit.
Services
I offer individual, partners/couples, and limited family therapy sessions. Currently, I am only available virtually and a stable internet connection is necessary for effective care.
How I work with Individuals:
I use a holistic, systemic, and trauma-informed perspective in individual therapy. My experience includes working with anxiety, depression, trauma and complex trauma, relationship and family stress, life transitions, and other longstanding challenges.
Therapy can involve reducing distress, better understanding familiar responses, developing new ways of relating, and making sense of experiences that continue to affect the present.
How I work with Relationships:
I take a systemic, interactional, and emotional approach to couples work. We look at recurring conflict and the meanings each person brings to an interaction, while working toward more connection, intimacy, and understanding.
Our upbringing, culture, values, individual experiences, and patterns of responding can all shape what happens between partners. I draw on Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman methods, and structural and systemic approaches to help couples see and change those patterns.
I work with couples navigating infidelity and trust repair, communication problems, disconnection, intimacy concerns, and decisions about the future of a relationship.
Telehealth:
I practice exclusively virtually. A stable internet connection and a private space can help you make the most of your sessions. For some family and adolescent work, I recommend a consultation first to consider whether this format would be appropriate.
Personal and Professional Background
My work has included community mental health, outreach, home-based family therapy, school-based and outpatient care, clinical leadership, training, and supervision. My formal training as a marriage and family therapist began at the University of Massachusetts Boston in 2006.
These experiences have shaped how I understand people and the systems that affect their lives. I remain committed to an approach that considers the person, their relationships, and the environment around them—not only a list of symptoms.
I have training in Gottman, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, EMDR, and ecosystemic structural approaches. I have also supervised clinicians and provided training in systemic theory, mindfulness, and ethics.
I believe mental health care should respond to people’s changing needs over time. Insurance requirements can limit the length and focus of treatment, which is one reason I work outside insurance networks. I also recognize that paying privately can make care harder to access. I offer a sliding scale based on need and clinical circumstances while maintaining a sustainable practice.
