She works with sexual concerns such as desire, intimacy, sexual dysfunction, and body image, and helps people manage chronic pain or illness that affects sexuality.

Approaches in online sessions and what they offer

Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, values, and choice when life feels uncertain. It can be useful for coping with midlife changes, grief, or questions about identity and purpose.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to take steps that match personal values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting a person’s own insight and growth. This approach can help people feel heard and build confidence to make changes in relationships and daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaboration lets techniques be adjusted as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets the therapist see facial cues and have longer conversations. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing coaching possible without waiting for an appointment. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
