She works with mood conditions such as depression and bipolar symptoms and offers support around attention-related challenges like ADHD. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and codependency.
Her sessions often include talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying small experiments between meetings. She brings a faith-informed perspective when clients want that included, while keeping the work practical and goal-focused.
People who choose her can expect a collaborative process that blends emotion-focused work with behavioral tools. Language offered is English and she practices in North Carolina. For international arrangements, she does not accept clients outside the United States.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on noticing and naming emotions and on changing interaction patterns that keep problems alive. This approach is commonly used for people who want to understand strong feelings and how those feelings affect behavior. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance that helps people feel heard and clearer about their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical tools for changing unhelpful patterns.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. She will discuss options and test what fits a person's goals and preferences. That discussion helps shape the work and lets the client have an active role in choosing methods.
