Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy supports emotional regulation and coping skills when feelings feel overwhelming.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, grief, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses topics like adoption and foster care, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and coping after loss or separation.
Sessions are available to people in Florida and are conducted in English. Therapy is presented in straightforward terms, with clear goals and practical tools people can use between sessions.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps people identify what matters most to them and set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches step-by-step strategies for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions for steady progress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative process guides whether CBT, client-centered techniques, DBT skills, or elements from emotionally focused or Jungian work are emphasized.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing messaging, and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while focusing on practical skills and steady progress.
