About Jill

Her tone is direct and compassionate, aimed at making the first step feel manageable. Clients can expect conversations that focus on practical next steps.

Background and approach

Jill listens first and then helps people set small, doable goals. She uses tools to reduce overwhelm, manage panic, and build steady habits for mood and confidence. Her work includes attention to body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and the emotional fallout of separation or divorce.

She also addresses feelings of guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and money stress. Jill blends several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and tolerate difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Client-centered techniques keep the conversation focused on the person and their priorities. Her practice style is collaborative and nonjudgmental.

Jill aims to help people feel more capable of facing daily challenges and making choices that support their goals.

Online support

Approach-driven care through online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters most and take small actions toward those values, even when feelings are hard. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that maintain distress, which helps with panic, mood problems, and negative self-beliefs. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s experience at the center, providing empathy and support while decisions about goals and pacing stay with the client.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. From there she tailors the mix of methods so sessions feel relevant and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for focused weekly work and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when a written conversation feels easier. These formats make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
