She is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience. Parents reading this will find clear language and straightforward strategies they can use right away. She focuses on day-to-day coping skills and emotional regulation.
Sessions often involve learning simple tools to reduce panic, manage anger, and handle relationship stress. She adapts techniques to suit each person's needs and pace.
Background and approach
Her background includes long-term clinical practice with adults and younger clients who face behavioral or developmental challenges. She has worked with people living with mood concerns, trauma, and complex personality features. That experience shapes how she explains things and plans treatment.
Therapy emphasizes practical steps rather than long theory. Clients learn skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to change unhelpful patterns. Emotion-focused and client-centered ideas guide how she listens and responds during sessions.
She works in Florida and conducts sessions in English and Spanish. Her approach is collaborative - she helps people set realistic goals and tracks small wins along the way. Many find the straightforward style helpful when symptoms feel confusing or urgent.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps people make sense of their experience. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to talk and be heard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change thinking and behavior patterns. It breaks problems into smaller parts and practices new skills between sessions, which works well with video or phone sessions for homework review and skill coaching.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It gives concrete tools for handling crises and strong emotions, and those skills can be practiced and reviewed through messaging or brief check-ins.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking what feels useful and adjusting methods over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing support between sessions.
