Virtual Support that Creates Safety

What is Virtual, Trauma-Informed Therapy?

Virtual, trauma-informed therapy is a safe space for your to explore difficult topics. I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform because your privacy is a priority. Your story belongs to you, and the space we create together needs to honor that. Trauma changes how we experience safety. It changes how we experience our bodies, our boundaries, our ability to trust. This means…

Control lives in your hands. You choose where you sit & what I can see through the camera frame. If you need to stand up and pace, you don't have to explain yourself. Your nervous system gets to lead.

Grounding happens in real time. When we're working through something difficult and you need to orient yourself back to the present moment, you're already surrounded by your anchors. These aren't props I'm asking you to imagine—they're already there.

Your body gets to tell the truth. Sitting across from someone in an office, there's often pressure to "perform" being okay—to sit up straight, maintain eye contact, look like you're holding it together. Online, you can stim, rock, or hold something comforting without feeling watched.

  • Doing tele-therapy from a computer works best, but you can also attend sessions from a handheld device.

  • If your car is parked and turned off, we can complete a session. However, you should keep in mind that many parking lots have limited access to wifi and therefore have unsecure connections. You may not do therapy while driving.

  • Setting up a sound machine or going to a room in your home that has additional sound proofing can help people feel more confident that their sessions cannot be heard throughout their home.

  • Due to licensure laws for licensed professional counselors, you must reside and be physically in the state of Pennsylvania during our session.
