How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting people where they are and listening with empathy to what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings and make choices about next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets patterns in relationships and strong emotions, and it can help people understand and shift how they respond in close connections. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe personal stories and separate themselves from painful events, which can reduce shame and open new options.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and remove travel time for appointments. Many people find that using breath and body-based exercises, narrative work, and focused goal-setting translate well to remote work with licensed professionals when the format fits the client's needs.
