Her work centers on practical steps people can use each day. She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. Sessions aim to build self-compassion, improve communication, and strengthen coping skills.

She blends these methods with a client-centered attitude to match each person’s needs and pace. She pays special attention to challenges tied to relationships, parenting, grief, and life transitions.
Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and divorce or separation concerns.

Online support
How clinical approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and still move toward what matters. It uses values-based goals and small actions to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill practice between sessions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process disturbing memories by combining focused recall with bilateral stimulation; it can reduce the intensity of trauma-related memories for some people. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their history, current struggles, and practical goals. Together they try different techniques and adjust the plan so it fits the client's needs and pace. Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you work face-to-face from a chosen location while phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer typing to talking. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
