Background and approach
Sessions focus on concrete skills to manage symptoms, improve relationships, and handle life changes.

She has experience addressing family and blended family dynamics, codependency, and divorce or separation matters.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person's goals. It helps people feel heard and build the confidence to try new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and behavior change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people shift interactions to strengthen connection and reduce conflict.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods to try. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when discussing relationship or trauma material matters. Phone sessions can be a good option for a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit short check-ins or coaching-style support into a busy day. These formats increase flexibility and help people keep steady progress while balancing other responsibilities.
