Her approach favors straightforward collaboration. Sessions focus on what matters now - managing panic, addressing guilt and shame, and rebuilding self-worth. She also supports people working through body image issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and workplace challenges.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Person-centered work focuses on the client's current goals and strengths. In an online setting this looks like conversational sessions that start with what feels most pressing and move toward practical steps. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and decision points about life direction.A trauma-informed approach pays attention to how past events affect present behavior and feelings. Online sessions can provide steady pacing and safety planning while people process difficult memories and learn coping skills for panic or posttraumatic stress reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, symptoms, and what feels manageable. That planning can change as therapy progresses so sessions remain focused and relevant.
