She brings six years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, anger, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Many clinicians blend evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and improve daily functioning. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding, which can help with anxiety, mood swings, and worry. Trauma-informed techniques emphasize pacing, grounding, and safety so people can process painful memories without becoming overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in often and shifting methods if something isn’t helpful.

Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce time spent traveling to appointments, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone continue care when work, family obligations, or mobility make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can help plan the most useful rhythm and format of sessions so therapy supports everyday life.
