Her style is collaborative and direct, with attention to practical next steps for daily life.

Approaches that guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps when someone needs space to name feelings and decide their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety and depression.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Then they will try methods that fit those needs and adjust over time as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to use practical tools together during a session, like worksheets or thought records, so changes can be applied between visits.
