Therapy From Your Safe Space—Because That's Where Healing Begins

Can This Really Work Online?

When you're dealing with trauma, the idea of opening up through a screen might feel strange. Disconnected, even. You might wonder if something crucial gets lost when we're not in the same room.

Here's what I've learned after years of providing trauma therapy online: sometimes, the screen isn't a barrier. Sometimes, it's exactly what makes healing possible.

I won't pretend the technology is invisible. Sometimes the Wi-Fi drops. Sometimes there's an awkward delay. Sometimes we have to repeat ourselves.

But here's what I've found: those moments become part of our work together. When we lose connection and have to reconnect, we practice something essential—rupture and repair. We practice what it feels like when something goes wrong and someone doesn't disappear. We practice flexibility when things don't go as planned.

I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform because your privacy isn't negotiable. Your story belongs to you, and the space we create together needs to honor that.

What Trauma-Informed Actually Means Online

Trauma changes how we experience safety. It changes how we experience our bodies, our boundaries, our ability to trust. So when I adapted my practice for online work, I didn't just move my office to a screen. I rebuilt it around what trauma survivors actually need.

Control lives in your hands. You choose where you sit. You decide what I can see through the camera frame. If you need to turn your camera off to feel safe enough to speak, you can. 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. The familiar weight of your favorite mug. The texture of your couch. The view outside your own window. 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, I can't see if your hands are shaking below the frame. You can stim, rock, or hold something comforting without feeling watched. Sometimes that freedom is what allows the real conversation to begin.

What Sessions Look Like

Before our first session, I'll send you a guide for setting up your space. Not rules—suggestions. Because you know what helps you feel safe better than I do.

When we meet, you'll see me in a quiet, private space. I'll be fully present, not distracted by notes or multitasking. My camera stays on so you can read my face, my body language, my responses—because trust isn't just built through words.

We move at your pace. If you need a minute, we take it. If something feels like too much, we pause. Online therapy doesn't mean rushing through—it means honoring your nervous system's needs wherever you are.

Between sessions, you're still in your life. And that's actually an advantage. When we're working on grounding techniques or somatic practices, you're learning them in the environment where you'll actually use them. You're building those neural pathways in your kitchen, your bedroom, your actual life—not trying to translate office-based skills to your reality.

This Is For You If...

You live in an area where trauma-informed therapists are scarce, and you're tired of explaining your needs to providers who don't specialize in what you're healing from.

You're parenting, working, or caregiving, and carving out time to physically go somewhere else feels impossible.

Your trauma makes navigating public spaces, driving, or being in unfamiliar environments genuinely difficult—and you're done forcing yourself to push through just to access care.

You've tried office-based therapy before and something about it didn't work—maybe the formality, maybe the pressure to "show up" a certain way.

You want to work with someone who understands that online isn't a compromise. It's a different way to create safety, and sometimes, it's the better one.

Connect for Support

Healing doesn't require you to leave your safe space. It requires you to be honest about what you need and to work with someone who believes you.

If online therapy feels like it might be that space for you—where your comfort matters more than convention, where your nervous system gets a vote, where you can show up as you are—I'd be honored to work with you.

You've already survived what brought you here. Now let's create the conditions for you to heal—on your terms, in your space, at your pace.
