Her style aims to be practical and collaborative. Clients can expect straightforward feedback, skill-building, and a focus on making gradual, sustainable changes that fit a person’s routine.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience first. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client’s lead and build goals that feel relevant to daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. In virtual sessions CBT often means practicing small experiments, learning new skills between meetings, and tracking progress with simple homework.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for regulating strong emotions and handling conflict. DBT techniques taught online can help with managing anger, intense anxiety, and relationship tensions by introducing step-by-step tools for staying steady.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The profile indicates telehealth experience but does not list exact session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. They also let people use therapy time for brief check-ins, skill practice, or focused problem-solving without a commute, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
