She draws from these approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on usable change.
People come to her with a mix of mood concerns, substance use problems, family stress, and questions about meaning or purpose. She helps clients look at patterns, try small changes, and build skills to manage day-to-day challenges.
How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. It can be useful for people who get stuck in recurring cycles with partners or who have trouble naming what they feel. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own perspective and pacing; the therapist listens and reflects so the client can clarify goals and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative plan can shift over time as needs change and progress is reviewed.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since this profile does not list formats explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also make it possible to meet with a licensed professional from different locations, which helps people keep therapy consistent around work or life transitions.
