She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and questions about life purpose.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often include brief, skills-focused methods that help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. For example, approaches that teach emotional regulation give clear tools for handling anxiety or intense moods, and can help when stress or trauma symptoms get in the way of daily life. Another common approach emphasizes behavioral strategies for reducing depression and addiction risk. These methods break larger problems into small, repeatable actions such as activity planning, relapse prevention steps, and communication rehearsals that can be practiced between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, life demands, and what feels most helpful, then try techniques that match those needs. Decisions about methods are collaborative and may change as progress is made. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Some formats reduce bandwidth or do not require video, which can suit people who need a quicker or less visually focused session.
