Her approach centers on narrative ideas and client-centered work. That means she helps people tell and reframe the stories they carry about themselves.

Online session options

How narrative and practical approaches work online

Therapy combines narrative work and client-centered conversation to help people reframe their stories and notice patterns that no longer serve them. Narrative Therapy helps by separating a person from their problems and naming recurring storylines so they can be changed. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validation, and follow-through so people feel heard while making decisions that fit their lives.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT teaches practical steps to try between sessions and helps people measure progress. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which approaches fit best for their goals and daily realities; this choice is reviewed as work progresses and can be adjusted when needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are low on bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging works well for brief updates and ongoing support. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family, or health needs.
