She offers evening video and phone sessions. Messaging and live chat are offered in morning and afternoon times and other available sessions. Before booking, clients should confirm current session formats and schedule details.

How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Online sessions can use this work to set daily experiments, track reactions, and practice new responses between meetings. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, and can be used online to rehearse skills, plan coping steps, and review real-time practice.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps. The first sessions are often used to see which approaches feel practical and useful for day-to-day life.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking. The therapist lists evening video and phone sessions, and messaging and live chat during morning and afternoon times and other available sessions. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on skills practice and planning between meetings.
