Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens to each person's story and helps them notice recurring patterns. She integrates modern psychoanalytic ideas with cognitive behavioral strategies to address ongoing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.

In sessions she emphasizes practical skills and awareness. Clients learn mindfulness and concrete coping tools. She also helps people process past trauma and understand emotional triggers that affect current relationships and mood.
