Background and approach
She has worked in individual and group formats and has regular experience providing marriage and family therapy. Her approach is warm and practical. Sessions focus on the person in front of her and on skills that change daily life.
She mixes client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused work to address patterns that keep people stuck. Mindfulness and existential ideas are also woven in to help with meaning, purpose, and staying present. In meetings she aims to be respectful, empathic, and straightforward.
Conversations are used to identify what is getting in the way, name unhelpful thinking, and practice new ways of relating to oneself and others. She supports people as they work through grief, trauma, commitment concerns, communication struggles, and caregiving stress. Practical goals are part of the plan.
Clients can expect tools for coping with anxiety, strategies for mood management, and steps toward clearer decisions. She invites clients to take gradual steps toward change while exploring what gives their life meaning.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities, giving space for thoughts and feelings. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing new skills, which can be taught and practiced during sessions to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions in close relationships and can help people change interaction patterns to feel more connected and supported.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt techniques over time. Clients often combine methods - for example using CBT tools for anxiety alongside emotionally focused work for relationship change - and adjustments happen as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and other commitments while keeping momentum on therapy goals.
