It is commonly used to manage symptoms and build practical coping skills.He also uses ecological perspectives that examine how a person’s environment and relationships affect their stress and recovery.

Confirm the current session options before booking since specific online formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also make it feasible to speak from different locations when needed, while in-person sessions remain an option where offered.
