ADHD is listed among her areas of focus and is part of the range of challenges she helps people manage.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can talk through what matters most; it helps with emotional expression and decision making. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping, which can be practiced in sessions and between them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift interaction patterns to improve closeness and repair connection in relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Clients and therapist decide together which tools and strategies to use over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people use face-to-face work without travel, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
