She works with clients navigating LGBT concerns, family conflict, grief, and self-esteem issues. Her style is warm and strength-focused, aimed at helping people find practical ways forward.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify their own goals and values. This approach is helpful for emotional processing, identity concerns, and building self-worth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple experiments and behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood, and to improve coping with stress and relationship challenges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Plans are adjusted over time based on what’s helpful and what isn’t.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use strategies learned in sessions directly in their daily routines, which can speed up practical changes and habit building.
