Background and approach

She has supported people dealing with grief, life transitions, body image worries, financial stress, and end-of-life questions.

If someone wants to address anxiety or cope with a life change, she focuses on clear steps and usable tools.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and guides sessions based on their priorities, which can be useful for addressing anxiety and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical techniques to reduce worry and improve mood. These tools are often aimed at everyday problems like stress, negative thinking, and relationship communication. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help when feelings feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan together. This collaborative process helps identify which methods feel most helpful for the person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful when visual cues matter and a longer session is needed. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging can make it easier to fit brief updates into a busy day or to use written tools between sessions. These formats can make it simpler to access consistent care while keeping the focus on practical skills and progress tracking.
