Her background includes five years providing direct therapy. She holds the credential Licensed Clinical Social Worker and also lists CSW, and she practices in Florida. That experience has included helping people navigate family conflict, relationship patterns, self-esteem struggles, and the emotional fallout of trauma and loss.

Treatment draws on several approaches: cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness to reduce overwhelm, and client-centered listening to keep each person’s priorities central.

How her approaches inform online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts without being controlled by them and build actions that match their values; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes, which helps with depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and responding to what the person says, giving space to explore goals and feelings at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and will try different tools as needed. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels useful in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also gives people more choice about how they engage with therapy while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
