Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depressive difficulties, grief, anger, self-esteem concerns, relationship and parenting issues, eating-related problems, ADHD, and a variety of other adjustment and coping difficulties.

As an integrative practitioner, she combines practical strategies with deeper exploration of patterns and emotions, tailoring interventions to each person's needs. Her work draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based techniques, and BWRT, selecting methods that fit the presenting concerns.
