Background and approach
She has extensive experience with LGBT clients and people living with HIV. She has worked in community clinics, non-profit organizations, and independent practice. She has taught master’s level courses, led professional workshops, and presented at national conferences.
That mix of settings informs a flexible approach to care. In sessions she uses client-centered methods, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-informed techniques including EMDR when appropriate. She expects active participation and regular live sessions to build skills and reduce symptoms.
Messaging is used for updates and brief contact, while live video or phone sessions are central to the work. Practical problem solving and clear guidance are hallmarks of her approach.

04Online support
Approaches for trauma, anxiety, and goal-focused work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters most, and helps the client set goals. This approach helps when someone needs steady support and clearer thinking about choices.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that works on processing distressing memories and reducing their hold on daily life. It is commonly used for post-traumatic stress and other trauma reactions and is delivered in paced, structured sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they will try methods that match the client's needs and adjust the plan over time based on what helps.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill-building and EMDR-style processing. Phone sessions can be a quieter option that uses less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, sharing updates, and maintaining momentum between longer sessions. These flexible formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care when travel or distance are factors.
