Mindfulness and dialectical skills are added when they fit a person’s needs.

She also supports people facing parenting stress, caregiver burnout, and major life transitions.

Online support
How her approaches work online
Client-centered therapy begins by focusing on what matters most to the client and shaping sessions around their priorities. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaborating on goals so clients feel heard and in charge of change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective alternatives. It is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and for building coping skills in everyday life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for regulating intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It can be useful when strong mood swings, anger, or relationship conflict get in the way of daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress is made. This collaborative process helps make sure therapy stays focused on what the person wants to accomplish.
Online sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit into a busy life and allow different ways to stay connected to a licensed professional.
