Her style is direct and collaborative. Sessions focus on uncovering the root of recurring patterns and testing new ways of relating.

Clients can expect a person-centered approach that adapts to each situation. Conversations are aimed at revealing patterns, challenging unhelpful beliefs, and building practical skills. Motivational interviewing techniques are sometimes used to support change when people feel stuck.

How core approaches guide online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment, or feeling disconnected from others by exploring attachment needs and repairing relational responses.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience. The therapist follows the client's pace, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own solutions. This approach suits people who need a respectful, accepting space to make sense of difficult feelings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to reduce unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, mood, and some relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use skills learned in sessions in real time within their own routines, which can speed up practical change.
