She has provided therapy to people ages two through ninety-nine, and now also works as an elementary school counselor while maintaining outpatient practice experience.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Jean starts where a person is and helps build a plan tailored to their goals. She emphasizes concrete, achievable steps rather than quick fixes. Sessions often include tools to manage anxiety, process grief, and strengthen communication skills.

People who choose her can expect steady support and iterative planning. She aims to help clients recognize small changes that add up over time. Jean frames therapy as a partnership and follows a paced process to address complex issues safely and realistically.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping people set goals that matter to them and shaping sessions around personal priorities. This approach is useful for relationship struggles, life transitions, and emotional processing.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention-based skills to notice thoughts and feelings without judgment. It can help reduce anxiety, manage stress, and create space for clearer decision-making during difficult times.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jean will work with each person to decide which methods fit best with their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adjusts pacing and techniques as needed so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also accommodate people who prefer working without being on camera or who need a quieter setup. Licensed professionals use these formats to help clients keep progress steady while managing everyday demands.
