Serving clients in New Jersey (Telehealth Only) and Florida (Telehealth and In-person)
I am excited to share that I am now offering telehealth therapy services to clients in Washington DC.
Reaching out for therapy is often not about finding someone to “fix” you. It is about finding someone who understands what is getting in the way of connection, both with yourself and with others.
My work is centered around one core idea:
We all long for connection, but many of us carry experiences that make connection feel unsafe.
What Keeps Us Out of Connection
Many of the struggles people bring into therapy are not random. They are patterns shaped by past experiences, especially in relationships.
Some of the most common barriers to connection include:
- Trauma and unresolved emotional pain
- Chronic stress or nervous system dysregulation
- Insecure attachment patterns
- Shame and self-protective coping strategies
- Addictive or compulsive behaviors
These patterns are not flaws. They are adaptations that once served a purpose. Over time, however, they can begin to limit our ability to feel safe, present, and connected.
Areas of Focus
My practice specializes in working with individuals who are navigating:
Trauma and CPTSD
Trauma can show up as anxiety, emotional reactivity, shutdown, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Complex trauma often develops over time through repeated relational experiences.
PTSD
Single-incident or acute trauma can leave lasting imprints on the nervous system, impacting how safe the world feels and how the body responds to stress.
Insecure Attachment
Patterns such as fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, emotional withdrawal, or anxious pursuit often have roots in early relational experiences.
Sex, Love, and Porn Addiction
These behaviors are often misunderstood as purely behavioral problems. In reality, they are frequently connected to emotional regulation, attachment needs, and unresolved pain.
Betrayal Trauma
Partners who have experienced deception, secrecy, or infidelity often struggle with loss of trust, emotional instability, and a deep sense of confusion and hurt.
My Approach to Therapy
Therapy is not just about talking. It is about creating experiences that allow change to happen at a deeper level.
My approach integrates:
EMDR Therapy
EMDR helps process and resolve traumatic memories so they no longer feel overwhelming or intrusive.
CSAT Model
As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, I use structured and evidence-informed approaches to help individuals and couples navigate addiction, accountability, and recovery.
Psychodrama
Psychodrama allows clients to explore experiences, emotions, and relational patterns in an experiential and embodied way, not just intellectually.
Somatic Experiencing
This approach focuses on the nervous system and the body, helping clients release stored stress and build capacity for regulation and safety.
Why Telehealth Can Be Effective
Telehealth therapy offers flexibility and accessibility without sacrificing depth.
For many clients, it allows:
- Consistent access to care
- Comfort of being in their own space
- Greater privacy
- Integration of therapy into daily life
Healing does not require being in a specific room. It requires a safe and attuned therapeutic relationship, which can absolutely be built through telehealth.
Who This Work Is For
This work may be a good fit if you:
- Feel stuck in patterns you do not fully understand
- Struggle with connection or intimacy
- Experience cycles of anxiety, shutdown, or overwhelm
- Are dealing with addiction or compulsive behaviors
- Have experienced betrayal or relational trauma
- Want deeper healing, not just symptom management
Closing Thoughts
Therapy is not about becoming someone different.
It is about becoming more connected to who you already are beneath the patterns that developed to protect you.
If you are located in Washington DC and are looking for support, I am here to help.
