She also supports those coping with parenting challenges, career questions, and identity concerns, including LGBT and multicultural issues.

Online support

Online approaches that support relationships and personal change

Gottman Method work focuses on patterns between people and how they communicate. It looks at common interaction habits and teaches skills for managing conflict, improving connection, and increasing emotional understanding. This approach can help with intimacy-related concerns and ongoing relationship strain.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following the person's priorities. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps clients clarify goals, build self-awareness, and make choices that fit their values. It is useful for coping with anxiety, grief, identity concerns, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques together, and adapt methods based on what feels most helpful. That way the plan evolves to match needs and preferences rather than being fixed from the start.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for richer communication and role-play, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a quick check-in. Live chat or text messaging work well for shorter updates, support between sessions, and when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to schedule regular care around work, family, and other commitments.
