As a PSYPACT-credentialed therapist, I provide online family therapy and parenting support to clients throughout Arizona, Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, Colorado, Florida and Illinois. Whether you're navigating family dynamics from your home in Phoenix, managing parenting challenges in Hartford, or seeking support from anywhere across these nine states, my virtual practice offers the same personalized, trauma-informed care that helps families reconnect and thrive.
Navigating family dynamics and parenting challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when you're already managing your own stress, anxiety, or burnout. As a therapist specializing in online family therapy and parenting support, I understand that even high-functioning families who appear successful on the outside can struggle with disconnection, communication breakdowns, and relationship patterns that no longer serve them.
​Understanding Your Family's Unique Needs Through Virtual Connection
Every family operates as its own unique system, with distinct communication styles, emotional patterns, and ways of relating to one another. Through my trauma-informed and neurodivergent-aware approach delivered via secure online sessions, I recognize that each family member's brain and nervous system processes information and stress differently. This understanding allows me to tailor my virtual therapy approach to meet your family exactly where you are, while keeping sight of your larger goals for connection and harmony.
When families across Arizona, Connecticut, and my other PSYPACT states come to me for online support, they're often experiencing challenges that affect everyone in the household. Parents in high-pressure careers from DC to Denver might feel exhausted from trying to manage their children's needs while maintaining their own well-being. Whether you're in the suburbs of New Jersey or downtown Chicago, the struggles are similar: children and teens may be dealing with anxiety, depression, or difficulties that stem from how their unique brains process the world around them. The entire family system might be stuck in patterns that once served a purpose but now create tension and distance.
My Approach to Online Family Therapy
My work with families through virtual sessions is grounded in understanding the family as a whole system. Even through online therapy, I help members recognize patterns of communication and behavior that create tension or distance, and guide them toward healthier ways of relating. While I draw on evidence-based approaches such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, CBT, ACT, and IFS, I weave these tools together in our virtual space to fit the unique needs of each family. I also integrate somatic and polyvagal principles to help members notice how their nervous systems respond to stress, and to foster greater safety, regulation, and connection within the family—all achievable through thoughtfully structured online sessions.
What makes my online therapy approach particularly effective is my ability to notice and respond to subtle changes in non-verbal communication and emotions during our virtual sessions. Even through video, I can follow the immediate process of what's happening while simultaneously keeping your family's bigger picture goals in mind. This allows me to present information and interventions at times and in ways that your family can actually absorb and integrate into daily life, regardless of whether you're joining from Virginia, Rhode Island, or any of my practice states.
Supporting Parents in Their Journey—From Anywhere
Parenting in today's world comes with unique challenges that previous generations didn't face. You might be managing your own anxiety or depression while trying to be the parent your children need. Perhaps you're supporting a neurodivergent child while also discovering your own neurodivergent traits. Or maybe you're simply feeling burned out from the constant demands of modern parenting in a culture where systems of support are scarce but expectations remain sky-high. These challenges are universal, whether you're in suburban Maryland, urban Connecticut, or anywhere across my practice states.
In our online work together, therapy becomes a space for you — to feel seen, supported, and equipped with practical, research-based strategies. Drawing on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCT), and Solution-Focused techniques, I help parents strengthen emotional regulation, identify what's already working, and create routines that fit their unique family. The flexibility of online sessions means you can access this support from the comfort of your own home, making it easier to fit therapy into your busy schedule.
When neurodivergence is part of the picture, I take a strength-based approach. I believe that ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence can be superpowers when understood and harnessed. Together in our virtual sessions, we explore how to buffer the challenges — like executive functioning or sensory needs — while building on your child's strengths. This might mean rethinking traditional discipline, creating rhythms that reduce conflict, and finding new ways to foster connection and resilience in your family.
Creating Connection Through Understanding in Virtual Space
One of the most powerful aspects of online family therapy is proving that meaningful connection doesn't require physical proximity. Often, conflicts arise not from lack of love but from misunderstandings about how each person experiences and processes the world. Through our virtual work together, I help family members develop deeper empathy and understanding for each other's perspectives and needs, whether they're all in the same house or joining from different locations.
Using Interpersonal Therapy principles adapted for online delivery, we explore how family relationships impact each member's mental health and well-being. I incorporate Mindfulness Practices and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) techniques that translate beautifully to virtual sessions, helping family members stay present with difficult emotions without becoming overwhelmed. This creates space for genuine connection and healing within the family system, regardless of physical distance.
Navigating Transitions Together Through Online Support
Families often seek my online support during times of transition. Whether you're adjusting to a new diagnosis in Arizona, navigating divorce or separation in Connecticut, blending families in New Jersey, dealing with job changes in Washington DC, or managing the shift from childhood to adolescence anywhere across my practice states, transitions can destabilize even the strongest family systems. My specialized focus on transitions, combined with the accessibility of online therapy, means I can provide consistent support regardless of relocations or schedule changes.
During transitions, I help families maintain stability while embracing necessary changes. Through our virtual sessions, we work on communication strategies that keep everyone informed and included at age-appropriate levels. I support parents in maintaining consistent boundaries and routines that provide security during uncertain times, while also helping the family system remain flexible enough to adapt to new circumstances.
The Process of Working Together Online
When you reach out to me for online family therapy and parenting support from any of my nine practice states, we begin with a free 15-minute virtual consultation. This initial conversation allows you to ask questions about my approach and helps me understand your family's specific needs and goals. I want to ensure I'm the right fit for your family before you invest your time and energy in the evaluation process.
Following our consultation, if we decide to move forward, I schedule a 90-minute online intake session charged at my standard 50-minute rate. Before this intake, I send all necessary forms and screening measures through my secure client portal. This preparation allows me to tailor our initial virtual session to your family's specific needs rather than spending time on general questions. After the intake, we have a feedback session where I share my observations and we collaboratively create a detailed treatment plan that aligns with your family's goals.
A note about who I work with: I do not provide therapy for children or adolescents. My online work focuses on supporting parents in navigating the challenges of raising children, and on helping families of adults strengthen communication and relationships. If you are seeking therapy for a child, I can help provide appropriate referrals, while continuing to support you as the parent in your own growth and well-being through our virtual sessions.
Flexible Online Support for Your Family's Needs
I believe in meeting families where they are—literally and figuratively. My online practice allows me to serve families across Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, Colorado, Virginia, DC, Maryland, Rhode Island, and New Jersey with the same quality of care. Some families benefit from brief, focused work addressing specific challenges, while others prefer more in-depth, longer-term support to address complex patterns and relationships. Your family drives the treatment process, and my role is to provide guidance, support, and evidence-based interventions through our secure virtual platform to help you reach your goals.
Online sessions can include various family configurations depending on what's most helpful. We might work with the entire family together virtually, meet with parents separately for parenting support, or occasionally work with individual family members to address specific concerns. This flexibility ensures that everyone gets the support they need while maintaining focus on improving the overall family system.
Between sessions, I may suggest exercises or activities for your family to practice together. These might include communication exercises, mindfulness practices, or specific strategies for managing challenging situations. However, I understand that life gets busy, and I meet families where they are without judgment if homework doesn't get completed.
Begin Your Family's Journey Toward Connection—From Anywhere
If your family is struggling with communication, dealing with the impacts of anxiety, depression, or burnout, or simply feeling disconnected despite success in other areas of life, online family therapy can help. My trauma-informed, neurodivergent-aware approach delivered through secure virtual sessions ensures that each family member feels seen, understood, and valued while working toward collective healing and growth.
Through our online work together, your family can develop stronger communication skills, deeper emotional connections, and more effective ways of supporting each other through life's challenges. You can learn to break free from patterns that no longer serve you and create new ways of relating that honor each family member's unique needs and strengths—all from the convenience and comfort of your own home.
Whether you're in Arizona, Connecticut, or any of my other PSYPACT states including New Jersey, Rhode Island, Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, Colorado, Florida and Illinois, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation. Together, we can explore how my online approach might help your family move from feeling overwhelmed and disconnected to experiencing greater understanding, connection, and joy in your relationships with one another.
