Approaches and Online Care for Trauma and Growth

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and supporting the individual's own goals, helping with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

She approaches treatment collaboratively - helping clients explore which methods feel most helpful and adjusting the plan based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. That process honors each person's expertise in their own life while combining clinician guidance and evidence-informed techniques.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, her tele-mental health practice increases flexibility for scheduling and makes ongoing support more accessible for people with busy lives or mobility constraints. These options allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care, try different session formats, and choose the communication style that fits the moment and the therapeutic goals.
