She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to reflect individual needs and circumstances. Her practice attends to both common concerns and more specific struggles such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, codependency, infidelity, loneliness, and fertility-related stress.

These approaches are integrated to offer practical strategies, emotional exploration, and relational insight tailored to each person’s goals.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can genuinely help. For a wide range of everyday concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and transitions in life - online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care for many people.

One of the main practical benefits is flexibility. People can choose the mode of connection that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or manage mobility and location constraints.

Licensed professionals and therapists offer a variety of therapeutic styles and you have the option to seek a different fit if needed. For many, remote sessions provide a convenient, consistent way to access support while still engaging with established therapeutic approaches.
