She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and stress. She also addresses relationship and family issues, grief, sleep difficulties, addictions, and career-related stress.

In sessions she helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and practice new ways of reacting when emotions run high.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to talk through strong feelings and make sense of what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides clear steps and exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Those skills are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone struggles with reactive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match the client's needs, goals, and comfort level. That plan can change as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to help people practice skills in their real-life routines.
