She has practiced in a range of settings and with varied populations over the last eight years. Her Florida LMHC credential is listed as part of her background. People interested in addressing eating issues, addiction, trauma, or related concerns can expect direct, empathetic support.

How her approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps toward a life someone cares about, which can help with depression, anxiety, and eating-related struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, mood, and addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help assess goals and preferences, then try strategies that fit the person's needs. That might mean combining ACT, CBT, and mindfulness tools and adjusting them as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use structured skill practice, guided mindfulness exercises, and goal-focused action plans in remote sessions to support change.
