Background and approach
She brings five years of counseling experience from varied settings. That background means she has worked with many different concerns, including trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, panic, and mood issues. She also helps people facing relationship and family stress, parenting strains, and fertility or veteran-related worries.
Her approach draws on therapies that teach skills, build awareness, and shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies help when emotions feel overwhelming. Cognitive and dialectical methods break down thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps.
Sessions may include problem-solving, emotion regulation practice, and brief education about how stress affects the body and mind. The focus is on concrete steps that fit daily life. People who want clear, practical support and a collaborative relationship may find this style helpful.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them, then move toward what matters most in life. It is useful for anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions, which can reduce panic, depression, and mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, progress notes, or flexible communication between longer sessions. These options make it easier to practice skills between visits and to fit counseling into a busy life.
