In remote work she adapts established approaches to suit the session format and the issues presented, maintaining a collaborative stance and attention to cultural and relational context.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking and developing practical coping strategies.

These approaches are presented in ways meant to fit with each person or family, whether addressing trauma, mood concerns, or relationship stress.
