Background and approach
She tailors approaches to each person's needs, often drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based strategies. The work focuses on small, doable steps and building skills to handle intense feelings and day-to-day demands. Her background includes long-term clinical work with people who face grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, ADHD, and burnout.
She emphasizes respect, acceptance, and compassion in every session. That starts with listening and helping people name what matters most to them. Therapy with her can include learning emotion regulation skills, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing new ways to connect with others.
She also supports people navigating life changes, career questions, and struggles with shame or isolation. Getting started is straightforward: use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that works. Fees vary by location and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without fighting them and focus on actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and finding clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships, which can help with intimacy and communication challenges.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and test methods that feel helpful. It is common to mix approaches over time so techniques match changing needs and priorities.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to make scheduling easier. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and skill practice, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting, or other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and skill building.
