In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to address anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, panic, and anger. She uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods to help people spot unhelpful thinking, try different behaviors, and notice what changes feel better.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys cooking, companion animals, organic gardening, yoga, kickboxing, and an active meditation practice. Those interests inform a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy focused on everyday life and achievable steps.

How CBT and Mindfulness Translate to Online Work

CBT helps people notice thoughts that lead to unhelpful actions and then try small, concrete behavior changes to test new ways of coping. It is often used for anxiety, panic, mood problems, anger, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can help with rumination, emotional overwhelm, and building steady habits for handling strong feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, mindfulness, or a mix fits best based on goals and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made or needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time so people can meet from home or during a break. Discuss practical scheduling preferences and what works for your routine when you begin the intake process.
