Background and approach
People can expect calm guidance and a focus on strengths rather than blame.

She also incorporates mindfulness and acceptance strategies to reduce reactivity and improve emotional flexibility.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Her background includes work in various settings such as outpatient and in-home therapy, group work, and support groups. That experience informs a practical, flexible approach to sessions.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

CBT includes practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can be done between sessions to build momentum.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action even when feelings are difficult. ACT combines mindful noticing with goal-focused steps and can help with anger, anxiety, or life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. Techniques may be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and skill practice, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and messages or chat are handy for quick check-ins or between-session support.
