Online psychotherapy

New York, Montana, massachusetts & vermont

Serving NYC, the Berkshires, Bozeman & Big Sky

As a licensed psychologist providing virtual psychotherapy in New York State, Montana, Vermont, and Massachusetts, I work with adults seeking depth-oriented, integrative care.

I primarily serve clients in:

  • New York City and throughout New York State

  • The Berkshires and greater Massachusetts

  • Bozeman and Big Sky, Montana

  • Rural and underserved areas across Vermont and Montana

Secure online therapy allows clients in both metropolitan and remote regions to access consistent, high-quality psychological care without sacrificing depth, discretion, or relational presence.

All sessions are conducted via HIPAA-compliant telehealth.

Depth-Oriented, Mind–Body Psychotherapy

My approach integrates psychodynamic psychotherapy, somatic (mind–body) therapy, attachment theory, and mindfulness-based interventions. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, therapy addresses the underlying emotional and physiological patterns that shape anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic stress.

I work with adults experiencing:

  • Anxiety and stress disorders

  • Depression and emotional flatness

  • Burnout and professional exhaustion

  • Trauma and complex PTSD

  • Grief and life transitions

  • Chronic pain and autoimmune-related distress

  • Existential or spiritual concerns

  • Identity and relational conflict

This is therapy designed for psychological integration — not quick fixes.

Online Therapy for executives & Professionals

My practice is especially suited for:

  • Professionals and leaders in NYC and Massachusetts

  • Physicians and healthcare providers experiencing burnout

  • Creatives and educators managing identity strain

  • Individuals in rural communities seeking expert care

  • Clients navigating chronic illness or psychosomatic symptoms

Virtual psychotherapy provides flexibility, privacy, and continuity — particularly for those balancing demanding careers or living outside major urban centers.

Integrative Methods

Treatment may include:

  • Psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy

  • Somatic therapies (Focusing, Hakomi)

  • Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) principles

  • Interpersonal neurobiology

  • Contemplative and existential inquiry

  • Behavioral medicine approaches for chronic stress

Each treatment plan is individualized and grounded in psychological science.

Psychotherapy Where You Are

Whether you live in:

  • Manhattan, Brooklyn, or upstate New York

  • The Berkshires or greater Boston region

  • Bozeman, Big Sky, Missoula, or rural Montana

  • Burlington or other Vermont communities

You can access consistent, confidential psychotherapy through secure video sessions.

Online therapy maintains the same depth, rigor, and attentiveness as in-person work.

A Depth-Oriented, Whole-Person Approach

Psychotherapy offers space to slow down, examine recurring patterns, regulate the nervous system, and develop greater emotional clarity.

If you are seeking a psychologically grounded, mindfulness-informed approach to lasting change, virtual therapy may provide the continuity and depth you need.

Whether you reside in Bozeman, Missoula, Whitefish, Helena, or Billings, Montana, in New York City or upstate New York, across Vermont’s towns and valleys, or throughout Massachusetts—from Boston to the Berkshires, I offer a grounded, integrative approach to psychotherapy tailored to your needs.
