VIRTUAL THERAPY: nc, sc & paThis is for you if you function well but are quietly exhausted from managing yourself.
You want relief and clarity—without falling apart or spending years in therapy.
Would you believe me if I told you…
You can trade chaos for calm, perfection for peace, without sacrificing your drive in 1 or 2 days?
You’ve been conditioned to push through, say yes, and keep going leaving you running on fumes and coffee. But the truth?
→ Those "what-if" spirals at 2 AM aren't you being dramatic,
your nervous system learned not to trust that you're actually safe.
→ "Being the reliable one" often means abandoning yourself,
high-functioning anxiety disguised as productivity.
→ That emptiness after every promotion, every win, every achievement
it’s not ingratitude, it's misalignment.
You’re not alone. You’re not broken.
You’re exhausted.
The same patterns that once kept you safe are now keeping you stuck. It’s time to re-write the story and live a life that feels like freedom.
Stop living by the checklist.
Build a life that feels aligned, fulfilling, and truly yours,
without getting lost in the pressure to keep up.
Learn to calm your nervous system, rebuild self-trust, and stop second-guessing every decision through individualized therapy intensives.
Designed specifically for high-achieving men and women navigating anxiety, burnout, and the spiral of overthinking. Individuals who are done performing, done proving. And ready to live life authentically and unapologetically themselves.
Imagine building your dream life
without choosing between peace & true success.
My Approach
Here, therapy isn’t just about coping — it’s about coming home to yourself.
I offer a personalized, evidence-based approach, blending IFS, TIC, somatic tools, and intuitive insight.
It’s specifically tailored for anxiety and life transitions, that meet you where you are and guide you to where you’re meant to be.
Four steps— One transformation: Stabilize, Clarify, Contain, Integrate
Here’s how we do it:
-
We begin with the foundation: a strong relationship built on trust, safety, and true connection.
You’ll have space to exhale — to feel seen, supported, and never judged.
This is where healing becomes possible.
-
We’ll start by calming your nervous system, I’ll help you build a powerful toolbox of practical skills to manage stress and stay grounded — no matter what life throws your way.
From that centered place, we’ll begin to gently uncover the patterns, defense mechanisms, and protective parts that helped you survive — but may now be keeping you stuck.
Together, we’ll connect the dots, understand your patterns, and get clear on who you are, what you value, and what truly matters to you.
-
We’ll begin to gently challenge the old beliefs, roles, and patterns that no longer serve you.
As you release what’s been holding you back, you’ll begin to expand into the version of yourself that feels aligned, empowered, and free.
This is where you reclaim what matters most: your worth, voice, choice, boundaries, values, and priorities.
And you won’t do it alone — I’ll be right beside you as you step fully into your life, boldly and unapologetically yourself.
-
This is where you begin to embrace the new — not just what’s changed, but who you’ve become.
You meet the version of yourself your younger self would be proud of — and amazed of who you have become.
You’ve evolved into the man or woman you were always meant to be — and now, you step into your authentic self & life.
It’s not a race. We go at your pace. I’ve got you,
and I’ll hold the space for you every step of the way.
The Difference
Therapy that gets ambition, and helps it fuel you. So it doesn’t cost you.
Here, you will NEVER be asked to be anyone but yourself.
My practice was designed to help ambitious men and women who look like they have it all, check all the boxes, and do the “right” thing, but feel like they’re secretly unraveling.
My unique blend of evidence-based treatment, intuitive insights, and somatics gives high-achievers a space to heal that feels safe, supportive, and real. So you can stabilize, clarify, and finally live the life you have dreamed of, easy and free!
Because healing doesn’t mean abandoning the fire that drives you.
“Mariah helped me gain insight and move toward the life I want. Her skill, attentiveness, and straightforward manner from a 2-Day Intensive have been invaluable. ”
Your Well-Being Isn’t Just a Luxury — It’s The One Thing You Can’t Afford To Lose.
It’s finally time to invest in you — You know how to invest in comfort. This is about investing in capacity.
The real glow-up starts inside: your clarity, your peace, your ability to trust yourself and feel free.
You are your biggest investment. And the return on investment? Exponential. Life Changing. Your only regret will be not doing it sooner.
This is the moment you stop settling. When you stop living for what you “should” do, and start living for what feels right.
The person you’ve been longing to feel like? They are already in you. Ready to meet your authentic self?

FAQs

Healing is like a road trip, you get to choose how fast you go. Individual therapy is the scenic route, steady, ongoing sessions that help you process trauma at your own pace. A Trauma Intensive is the express lane, deep, focused work that helps you process what’s been keeping you stuck fast.
Both get you where you need to go, it just depends on how quickly you want to get there. -
Trauma healing isn't about time - it's about the right approach. Weekly therapy often involves talking about trauma without actually processing it. My trauma intensives use specialized techniques, including Internal Family Systems, to target the root cause of your symptoms, not just discuss them. This concentrated approach helps you process traumatic memories more efficiently than spreading sessions over months or years.
-
Many clients come to me after years of traditional therapy, self-help books, and even other trauma-focused treatments without results. What makes my approach different is that I don't just focus on coping skills or managing symptoms - we address the root cause of your traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The intensive format allows us to go deeper without the start-stop nature of weekly sessions, which often keeps people stuck in the same stories.
-
Not sure if you need weekly therapy or an intensive? Here’s the breakdown:
Choose Individual Therapy if you want ongoing support, time to process, and a steady pace for healing.
Go for a Trauma Intensive if you’re stuck in overthinking, spiraling, or dealing with emotional pain that needs immediate attention.
Still unsure? Let’s figure it out together in a 15 minute consultation. -
100% and if you’re serious about healing, it’s the smartest move!
A Trauma Intensive gets straight to the point of what’s keeping you stuck—so you don’t waste months just scratching the surface. Individual therapy helps you integrate the breakthroughs, set boundaries, and keep making progress.
Most of my clients do both, because it works. Want to see if it’s right for you? Let’s talk. -
It depends on what you need. If you already know exactly what’s weighing you down whether it’s a toxic relationship or chronic anxiety, a trauma intensive is best. Individual therapy is best if you prefer a step-by-step, structured process with consistent emotional support. Some people choose both, and that’s where the real magic happens.
-
A Trauma Intensive gets you further, faster.
Many of my clients say they’ve made more progress in one intensive than in months of weekly therapy. That’s because we go deep, fast—so you finally break the cycle, process what’s been weighing you down, and walk away with real clarity.
But healing doesn’t stop there. Individual therapy helps you integrate the breakthroughs, rebuild trust in yourself, and keep moving forward with support. That’s why I offer discounted individual sessions after an intensive, so you can keep the momentum going. -
Yes, I offer payment plans for both individual therapy and intensive therapy sessions. Investing in your healing is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make.
I get it, therapy is an investment. But this isn’t just any therapy. You’re working with a specialist in toxic relationships, narcissistic abuse, and high-achievers who feel stuck in self-doubt and overthinking. Working with me will give you real breakthroughs fast, so you don’t spend years in therapy feeling stuck. -
Short answer? Yes, sometimes even more effective.Research shows that virtual or online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for treating anxiety, depression, and trauma (read more).
Absolutely. Research studies show that trauma-focused treatments, including elements of EMDR therapy and IFS, can be effectively delivered online. The advantage is that you can engage in therapy from a space where you already feel safe, which can actually accelerate healing for many clients with PTSD symptoms.
-
I work with adults experiencing various traumas, including toxic relationships, narcissistic abuse, sexual assault, car accidents, childhood trauma, and first responders who may need work-related PTSD treatment. My approach is effective for both single-incident trauma and complex trauma developed over time.
