She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes.

She bases sessions on clear listening and helping clients notice what matters to them.

She works with people affected by substance use, domestic violence, sexual assault, and HIV or AIDS. She offers guidance for caregivers and for those facing hospice or end-of-life decisions.
In practice she helps people spot patterns that keep problems going, try different ways of responding, and track what works. She uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when strong emotions or impulsivity are an issue. The work blends practical coping skills with attention to personal values and choice.

BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Online sessions can guide practical exercises and short behavioral experiments that fit into a busy week.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Through discussion and between-session assignments, CBT techniques can be practiced and tracked remotely to reduce symptoms like panic and low mood.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with clients to decide which methods suit their goals, needs, and personal preferences. That choice can change over time as issues shift or new priorities emerge.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific session formats. Ask which formats are offered and how they fit into your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow focused short check-ins when that suits your routine.
