She draws on 40 years of experience in medical and mental health settings and independent practice to guide straightforward, practical conversations.

Online support

How client-centered and narrative approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can clarify what matters and decide on next steps. This approach is useful for issues like grief, depression, and relationship struggles because it centers the person's own goals.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the problems they live with by examining the stories they tell about their lives. It encourages reauthoring those stories to make room for different actions and choices, which can help with addiction, codependency, and family of origin issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. Together they check progress and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to keep momentum between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and to fit therapy into a busy life.
