She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, and has an additional focus on abandonment, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.

Her experience includes counseling people facing mental illness in their families and providing career counseling related to life changes. This background informs how she helps people balance caregiving roles, work stress, and personal recovery.
