Background and approach
She listens carefully and uses problem-solving methods to help people set clear goals. Discussions are guided by what feels most useful to the individual, not by a fixed script. Many of her clients bring concerns such as depression, obsessive thoughts, anger, relationship strain, grief, or the stress of workplace demands.
She also addresses addiction and process addictions like gambling or problematic sexual behaviors, along with issues around self-esteem, intimacy, and communication problems. Her approach includes client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative strategies, and solution-focused work. These methods are used to identify patterns, try new skills, and make steady, manageable changes.
Sessions may include reflecting on thoughts and habits, setting small achievable steps, and revising plans as progress is made. She aims to help people build more control over everyday challenges and recover a sense of direction after setbacks.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on your priorities and pace, with the therapist following your lead and reflecting what you say to clarify struggles and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Motivational Interviewing helps when motivation is mixed or there is ambivalence about change, using guided conversation to identify reasons for change and build commitment.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan based on what works. You and the therapist decide together which techniques to use and how quickly to move forward.
Online sessions offer flexibility across formats: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines, and to pick the format that helps you engage and practice new skills.
