Her background includes work in children’s residential care, intensive outpatient substance use treatment, and acute clinical settings. Those roles shaped her interest in social supports and the environments that affect mental health. This perspective informs how she helps people manage stress, mood changes, addiction concerns, grief, and relationship strains.

She emphasizes practical habits and thought patterns, which aligns with a focus on everyday thoughts and routines. She has experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients and people with visible and invisible disabilities.

People who prefer a straightforward, strengths-based style may find her a good fit. She encourages clients to be active in setting goals and applying tools between sessions. Her work often centers on improving daily habits, managing mood and anxiety, and navigating life transitions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist helps clients name goals and uses their strengths to guide sessions, which can make online meetings feel personal and focused.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and daily habits affect mood and behavior. In online sessions CBT can be used to practice thought records, experiment with new behaviors between meetings, and track small changes over time.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas teach skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Online work can include skill coaching, role practice, and building routines that reduce reactivity and increase coping in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. If something does not feel helpful, they adjust the plan together rather than sticking to one method.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about session structure and length when you schedule so sessions match your day-to-day life.
