Across her work she supports people coping with addiction, caregiving stress, body-image concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and parenting-related strain. She also works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care history, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. Her training and long experience shape how she tailors each plan.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters and take small action even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on values and committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and daily demands. That may mean trying a practical CBT exercise one week and using acceptance or attachment-focused conversations the next.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. They also let people use therapy while juggling work, caregiving, or medical needs, so progress can continue without rearranging life around appointments.
