Background and approach
Her practice includes attention to trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and challenges that come from chronic illness or caregiving.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build practical coping skills. Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused work shape how she follows a client's lead and attends to emotions. People can expect clear, actionable steps and a focus on daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and building small actions that align with those values. It helps people move forward even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems stuck, offering practical exercises to change how daily life feels. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotions in relationships and improving emotional connection when that is a concern.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist reviews goals, preferences, and life demands with each person and then recommends methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked and new needs arise.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or a tighter schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing written support between meetings. These options make regular care more accessible for people balancing family, work, or health concerns.
