She works with adults who are struggling in relationships, dealing with trauma or abuse, and managing mood or motivation problems.

Her work covers intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, addiction-related issues, and codependency.

In sessions she listens, reflects what she hears, and introduces exercises and small experiments to try between visits.

How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that move someone toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and introduces straightforward exercises to shift those patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in close relationships and supports learning new ways of relating.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help identify which methods fit best based on each person’s concerns, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs and goals evolve, and sessions may blend techniques from different approaches.
