You might be healing from a relationship that made you question yourself, sorting out family boundaries, living with high sensitivity, or making choices other people seem determined to have an opinion about. I offer online therapy in Pennsylvania, New York and participating PSYPACT states to help you make sense of what’s happening and feel more solid in your own decisions.
You may have spent years second-guessing your reactions, explaining boundaries that felt pretty clear to you, or wondering whether you are somehow the problem. That pressure can come from a relationship, family expectations, a world that feels louder to you than it does to other people, or simply living in a way someone else doesn’t quite understand. Therapy gives us room to sort through what’s yours, what you’ve been carrying for other people, and what you actually want to do next.
When you’ve heard you are “too sensitive,” “too cautious,” “too dramatic,” or “too difficult” often enough, those labels can start talking louder than your own judgment. We can slow things down enough to see what is actually happening, notice the patterns that keep pulling you back in, and help you hear your own perspective more clearly again.
People rarely come to therapy with one tidy, isolated problem. A difficult relationship can affect your confidence. High sensitivity can make family dynamics feel even more intense. A life choice that feels right to you can become surprisingly exhausting when everyone else has commentary. These therapy areas give us a place to start.
You notice a lot. Tone shifts, tension, noise, other people’s moods, and sometimes the thing everyone else seems to have forgotten five minutes later. Therapy can help you recognize overload sooner, make more room for recovery, and respond to what you feel without turning every reaction into a character review.
You do not need to sort yourself into the perfect therapy category before reaching out. Tell me what feels tangled right now, and we can figure out where to start from there.
Your reason for coming to therapy may overlap several of these areas. Browse what sounds familiar, and we can sort out the rest together. No perfect category required.
Therapy can help you look honestly at what’s happening without being talked out of your experience or pushed toward a decision. A free initial consultation is available, with no commitment required.
Many of the people I work with are very used to explaining themselves. Why a relationship hurt as much as it did. Why a boundary became necessary. Why they do not want children. Why they still take COVID precautions. Why something that looks small from the outside can feel enormous on the inside.
Therapy should give you enough room to stop presenting evidence and actually look at what is happening. I am warm, engaged, and direct. I listen closely, ask questions, and say something when I notice a pattern that seems important. Your decisions stay in your hands, even when we are looking honestly at something difficult.
I take boundaries, sensitivity, identity, and lived experience seriously. I also care about getting underneath the pattern rather than stopping at reassurance. Sometimes the most useful thing I can do is validate what makes sense. Sometimes it is gently point out the thing you have circled around six times without quite saying yet.
I work best with adults who are ready to look honestly at what’s no longer working and begin making changes that feel like their own.
From there, we look at how you want to respond, what boundaries feel sustainable, and which decisions reflect what matters to you.
No. You may know the specific relationship or situation you want to discuss. You may also simply know that something feels wrong, overwhelming, or difficult to continue carrying on your own.
Part of therapy is understanding how the pieces connect. You do not need to organize the entire problem before reaching out.
The consultation is a brief phone conversation that gives us a chance to determine whether the practice is a potential fit.
I will ask what you are looking for support with, where you will be located during therapy, and what questions you have about working together. We may also discuss scheduling, fees, and insurance.
You do not need to provide a detailed trauma history or explain everything that has happened during this call.
A good therapeutic fit involves more than shared specialties. You should feel that your therapist understands what you are trying to communicate, respects your autonomy, and can help you look at your experience in a way that is both compassionate and useful.
The consultation is one opportunity to assess that fit. The first few sessions will also help us determine whether my style and approach meet your needs. If I do not believe I am the right therapist for what you are seeking, I will be honest about that.
I provide online therapy to adults physically located in Pennsylvania, New York, and participating PSYPACT jurisdictions. Because therapy eligibility is based on where you are located during the session, we will confirm your location before beginning. PSYPACT participation can change, so the current PSYPACT map is the best place to view participating jurisdictions.
The initial intake appointment is $250. Ongoing sessions are $200.
A limited number of reduced-fee appointments may be available. Current availability can be discussed during the consultation.
No. Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an important part of my work, but therapy is tailored to the individual. My approach may also draw from psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral therapies.
I will explain what we are doing in understandable language. You do not need to arrive knowing a therapy model or asking for a specific technique.
