Background and approach
Her long practice means she has worked with many kinds of concerns over time. Her style blends several well-known therapies so sessions can match each person's needs. She uses skills from cognitive behavior work to change thinking and behavior.
Mindfulness and acceptance approaches help people notice difficult feelings and move forward despite them. In sessions she checks in often to make sure the work stays relevant. She emphasizes practical self-care and building tolerance for emotional ups and downs.
Conversations are warm and focused on small, usable steps that add up over time. People can expect a calm, steady therapist who listens first, then suggests tools to try between sessions. She also pays attention to family and attachment patterns when those issues matter.
Her goal is to help people gain clarity, coping skills, and a clearer sense of purpose.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them; it is often used for mood, anxiety, ADHD-related difficulties, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Sessions may blend ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and other techniques until a useful mix emerges.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins, notes between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to schedule care around work, school, or parenting demands and to keep progress steady over time.
