How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's unique goals and struggles. The therapist uses reflective listening and open questions to help people clarify what matters most and decide what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing specific skills to change behaviors and mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process may mix listening, skill practice, and short homework tasks so the work feels relevant and doable.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, shorten commutes, and allow for check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. It can also let people use mindfulness or CBT exercises in their everyday settings, supporting practice between sessions.
