She blends approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to address thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns. Her work often focuses on improving self-esteem, emotional regulation, and communication skills.

Clients come to her for a wide range of life challenges. These include coping with major life changes, chronic pain or illness, caregiving stress, substance concerns, and separation or divorce.

She combines practical strategies with pacing that fits each person’s needs. Sessions aim to teach skills that can be used between meetings.

Her approach is patient, direct, and focused on real-world change.
