About Hope
Hope brings ten years of experience in mental health and holds a Master of Social Work from Saint Leo University. She draws on practical methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Her sessions blend gentle direction with space to be heard.
Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy with elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness. Hope uses tools to help people manage intense feelings, reframe thoughts, and set doable goals. Motivational Interviewing helps when people want change but feel stuck.
Hope’s style is encouraging and nonjudgmental. She helps people break problems into small steps and practices concrete skills between sessions. Therapy is framed as a joint effort where the person’s goals guide the work.
She has experience supporting people through trauma, relationship conflict, parenting challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, body image struggles, and ADHD-related difficulties. Hope seeks to meet each person where they are and help them take the next right step.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Hope uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and focuses on skills that can be practiced between sessions, which often makes progress feel measurable and concrete.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental listening space. This approach emphasizes understanding the person’s experience and working at their pace to build trust and clarity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions may mix approaches so people learn coping skills, try new behaviors, and reflect on what matters most to them.
