Her approach is inclusive of LGBT concerns and addresses mood disorders such as bipolar conditions without making quick assumptions. She also supports people experiencing compassion fatigue and workplace stress, helping them set boundaries and regain energy for daily tasks.

Approaches used and how online sessions proceed
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify values and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep anxiety or low mood going and teaches practical steps to change them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and daily routines, and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process can include testing techniques for social anxiety, mood management, or stress at work.
