Her background includes public speaking and coaching in addition to clinical work. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Therapy is subscription based and can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and parenting patterns. In online sessions this approach can help people notice connection styles and try different ways of responding in family or couple interactions. Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the center and relies on careful listening and reflection. It helps people feel heard and supports clearer decision making about relationships and parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for managing anger, anxiety, and changing routines that affect family life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give scheduling flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper interaction is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins, homework, or pacing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule and maintain momentum between sessions.
