People who want a therapist who emphasizes relationships, managing strong emotions, and practical steps may find this approach helpful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current connection patterns. It focuses on safety in relationships, building trust, and changing repeating patterns that cause pain. This approach can help when past attachment wounds affect parenting or close relationships.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication. It uses practice and repetition so people can handle intense emotions and reduce impulsive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether relationship-focused work, skills training, or trauma processing is the best fit and adjust the plan as needed.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably. Licensed professionals adapt these approaches to work effectively in remote sessions, focusing on what will fit into daily life.
