She works on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps people clarify what matters to them and decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) works on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review a person's goals, preferences, and what has helped before. She will suggest methods and adapt them collaboratively as sessions progress. Confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and support regular check-ins. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, use less data when needed, or have a shorter check-in during a work break. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused planning to an online setting so people can try strategies between sessions and track progress.03
