Adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, and family of origin concerns are additional focus areas.

Her style blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix supports goal setting, clearer thinking, and values-based choices. Sessions tend to emphasize practical tools and steady progress.

Her background includes work as a crisis counselor, director of a family preservation program, advocate, and clinical supervisor. She is also a John Maxwell Leadership Certified Trainer and brings coaching skills alongside therapeutic work.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their deeper values. It is often used for life transitions, stress, and mood concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and homework to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist reflects and listens so a person can find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a client's goals and preferences and then recommend or adapt methods that fit. Decisions about pace, exercises, and goals are made collaboratively so the plan fits real life needs.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help clients maintain consistent work on goals while balancing family, job, or school commitments.
