She also addresses patterns that come from past hurts and life transitions.

Online support
How her approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own solutions for relationship worries, grief, or low mood.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking, and mood changes because it breaks problems into clear, manageable steps.
Motivational interviewing is a short, goal-focused way to explore what matters most to someone and to strengthen their motivation for change. It pairs well with other methods when a person is facing big life transitions or struggling to start new routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That planning is flexible and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, mood tracking, or people who process better in writing. These options provide flexibility for regular care and for trying different ways of connecting with a licensed professional.
