Her practice has included people across the lifespan and a range of backgrounds. In recent years she has focused much of her work with older adults and with women, though she sees adults with many different concerns. Her methods draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

That mix helps with emotion regulation, behavior change, and coping after trauma or loss. She aims to match techniques to each person’s goals and pace. Appointments are offered by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s needs and goals. It creates space for clients to set the agenda while the therapist reflects, clarifies, and helps people notice their strengths; this approach is useful when someone wants a supportive, steady conversation about life changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses structured exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and behavior patterns.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It offers concrete skills for managing intense feelings and improving relationships, which is helpful for anger, relationship struggles, and impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people connect face to face, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging support quick check-ins or written reflection. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
