grounded in science, guided by wisdom
Compassionate Online Psychotherapy in PA, NY, & CT
Are you doing all the right things, and yet you still feel disconnected inside?
Do you sense that something deeper is missing?
Are you exhausted by therapy that leaves you feeling misunderstood, never quite reaching the core of your truth?
If any of this resonates, then welcome.

Welcome to Integrative Psychotherapy and Wellness, where we use modern psychology and ancient wisdom to help you transform anxiety, self-criticism, and emotional overwhelm into clarity, compassion, and renewed purpose.
We blend evidence-based therapies to create holistic strategies for those ready to move beyond the surface. We specialize in helping clients who've tried traditional approaches but feel stuck. We'll help you understand not just the why behind your thoughts, actions, and feelings, but also the how to create transformative change that aligns with your deepest values.
Whether you're seeking to understand complex patterns that other therapy hasn't fully resolved, navigating the tension between external success and internal disconnection, or wanting to transform how you relate to difficult emotions, we create a space where you feel deeply seen and accepted.
We're committed to helping you unearth and address root causes—transforming anxiety into grounded self-trust and disconnection into meaningful engagement with the life you want to live.
Specializations:

Enhancing Self-Trust, Validation & Compassion
Cultivate a kinder relationship with yourself, learning to trust your inner wisdom and treat yourself with the compassion you deserve. Build the self-trust to make decisions that are truly yours, not ones based on "shoulds" or others' expectations.
Beyond Symptoms to Root Causes
Rather than just managing symptoms, we help you understand the underlying patterns impacting your life, and embodied practices that can support their change.
This creates real, lasting transformation, rather than superficial coping strategies.
Tailored to You
We believe in unquestionably individualized care. Your therapy is thoughtfully designed around your specific needs, history, values, and intentions—never a one-size-fits-all approach.
Expert, Ongoing Education
We invest extensively in continued professional development, staying current with cutting-edge therapeutic approaches while maintaining a deep foundation in embodied wisdom and compassion.
