Therapy is for everyone—not just those in crisis. Just like regular physical checkups keep your body healthy, consistent counseling supports emotional and mental well-being. Whether you’re managing chronic stress, navigating grief, or seeking greater self-awareness, therapy can be a proactive step toward long-term mental health and fulfillment.

As a licensed psychologist offering online therapy across Massachusetts (MA), Rhode Island (RI), and Vermont (VT), I’ve supported adults from all walks of life—some coping with anxiety, trauma, or burnout, and others simply looking for clarity and connection. The truth is: everyone can benefit from skilled, compassionate therapy.

Safe, Confidential Virtual Therapy for Adults in New England

Online therapy offers a secure, flexible, and confidential space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. From the comfort of your own home, you can access professional support tailored to your needs.

Even if you’re not in crisis, therapy helps increase self-awareness, reduce emotional reactivity, and build resilience. I work with adults throughout MA, RI, and VT via telehealth—making it easier to prioritize your mental health no matter your schedule or location.

Evidence-Based Online Therapy That Works

Modern therapy goes beyond just talking—it provides proven tools to help you manage life’s challenges and grow. I integrate evidence-based treatments that support lasting change, including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Reshape unhelpful thought patterns and reduce anxiety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Strengthen emotional regulation and communication.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Increase presence and reduce reactivity.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Navigate tough emotions, clarify your values, and take aligned action.

These modalities are especially helpful for managing anxiety, perfectionism, grief, burnout, and trauma—all from the privacy of your own space via virtual therapy sessions.

Online Therapy Improves Relationships and Communication

Therapy isn't just about healing from the past—it's also about building stronger, more meaningful relationships in the present. Online counseling helps you enhance communication, set boundaries, and deepen emotional connection with others.

Therapy Is a Smart, Preventative Investment

You don’t need a diagnosis or crisis to start therapy. Seeking support is a proactive investment in your emotional health, clarity, and growth. As a trauma-informed psychologist with experience supporting adults in high-stress roles, caregiving situations, and health-related transitions, I’m here to guide you with empathy and expertise.
