How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how those patterns affect current connections. This approach is useful for relationship strain, attachment issues, and intimacy concerns.Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s goals central and focuses on listening and reflection. It helps when someone needs a steady, collaborative space to sort priorities and make decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to use. That decision is made together and can shift over time as goals change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and let people choose quieter surroundings or a shorter check-in when needed. Therapists often adapt activities such as skills practice, behavioral experiments, and reflective conversation so they work over distance and match everyday life.
