60-Minute Telehealth Psychotherapy Services

Gone are the days of long commutes and waiting room anxiety. With my Telehealth psychotherapy services, you can now access grounding therapy sessions without ever leaving your living room. I understand that your time is valuable, which is why I’ve crafted a streamlined experience that puts your needs first.

I conduct a thorough biopsychosocial intake session, where I analyze your physical, psychiatric, and social well-being. By taking a holistic approach, we ensure that no stone is left unturned, and we gain a comprehensive understanding of your unique needs and how to move forward in an intentional and meaningful way.

Overcome Developmental and Relational Trauma

With a focus on developmental and relational trauma, we discover how ruptures in attachment and belonging show up in our present life. From grief and depression to anxiety and addictive behaviors, I address how these parts of yourself show up to protect from further harm. We find ways to accept and view pain differently to relinquish behaviors from hindering your well-being, empowering you to release burdens and reclaim balance. 

Through psychoeducation, coping skills, and targeted interventions, we will redefine negative beliefs and learn how to cultivate regulation. By bravely taking this path forward, we pave the way for trust, safety, connection, and renewed confidence.

Through a holistic approach centered on mind-body wellness, we'll uncover the barriers holding you back. I primarily use techniques rooted in behavioral and somatic methods. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Parts work, and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).

With a dedication to ongoing professional development, I stay at the forefront of research and evidence-based practices. As a fellow student of life, I understand hardship and approach therapy with humility and collaboration, recognizing that you are the expert of your own journey. Together, we'll work towards employing a direct and empathetic approach that serves you, challenges you, and empowers your life moving forward. Take the first powerful step towards reclaiming your well-being and invite me to hear your story!
