She has extensive experience in school and educational settings as well as independent practice, and she draws on that background when supporting adolescents and adults.

She values working alongside clients through transitions and loss, and approaches each situation as unique while encouraging practical steps toward meaningful change.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related problems through structured exercises and skill-building. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, empathetic relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their own goals and values; this approach supports self-discovery and emotional processing. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, concrete steps toward desired changes, making it well suited for people seeking practical strategies and short-term progress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as appropriate. This shared decision-making helps shape personalized goals and the types of activities used between sessions.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care from home or other locations. These options provide scheduling flexibility and allow clients to continue therapy through life changes or busy routines while using techniques like CBT exercises, reflective conversations, and solution-focused planning adapted for virtual delivery.
