She provides services in English and accepts international clients, offering several remote session formats to match different needs and schedules.

Integrating CBT and DBT for accessible online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and building practical coping strategies to address anxiety, depression, stress, and other concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for overwhelming emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and symptom patterns, and together they adapt techniques from CBT and DBT to match what will be most useful in therapy. This allows flexibility in targeting immediate challenges while also building longer-term skills.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier for people juggling work, caregiving, or other commitments. These formats support regular contact and continuity of care while allowing therapists to share structured exercises, skill practice, and real-time coaching tailored to each person's needs.
