She has worked extensively in both outpatient and inpatient settings and now maintains a private practice where she supports individuals facing a range of emotional and life challenges.

Her work has included parenting and family concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and addictions, and issues related to identity and self-esteem. She also addresses the emotional impact of chronic illness and has experience with concerns specific to military service members and military families.

Her practice is rooted in a Client-Centered framework, which means she orients the work around each person’s goals and experiences. She meets clients where they are and chooses therapeutic methods that fit the individual’s needs, encouraging open communication about the direction and effectiveness of therapy. Trust and honesty form the foundation of her approach, and she regularly invites clients to reflect on how they feel about the process. Seeking help during a crisis or transition is often difficult, and she recognizes that first step as meaningful; she looks forward to accompanying clients through their journey toward the changes they want to make.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people clarify their values and take steps toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants practical strategies to move toward what matters most.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust. This approach helps people improve intimacy, repair relationship ruptures, and build more secure ways of relating to others.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and experiences, with the therapist offering empathy, acceptance, and guidance to support self-directed change. It is well suited for clients who want a collaborative, nonjudgmental space to explore identity, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adjust strategies as progress unfolds to ensure the work feels purposeful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and receive support from home or another convenient location while working toward personal goals.
