She uses client-centered listening to ground the work, narrative ideas to reshape personal stories, and solution-focused techniques to map clear next steps.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person’s lead. It helps when someone needs a space to clarify feelings and values. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those stories to uncover new possibilities. It can be useful for life changes and shifting self-image.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. Sessions begin with questions about what matters most and adjust as needs change over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions around work or caregiving schedules. It also supports shorter check-ins or focused goal work when that better matches someone’s needs.
