She works with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, or the challenges of chronic illness and caregiving.
Her practice includes support around career questions, self-esteem, and managing anger. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people try tools such as mindfulness exercises, behavior-focused changes, or emotion-focused conversations depending on the situation.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person sets the pace and goals. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through stress, relationship concerns, or grief and prefers a therapist who follows their lead.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful when someone wants concrete tools and homework between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding and shifting emotional responses in close relationships. It can help people improve communication, deepen intimacy, and resolve recurring conflicts by focusing on underlying feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as things improve or new challenges arise.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and different communication needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want ongoing brief support between appointments.
