Her practice centers on person-centered and mindfulness-based methods, used to help people calm intense feelings and build everyday habits. Person-centered work focuses on listening and responding to each person’s goals so sessions follow what matters most to them. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and grounding skills that can reduce anxiety and improve focus.These approaches help with relationship patterns, codependency, and attachment difficulties by increasing self-awareness and creating space to try new behaviors. Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss options and adjust based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a fixed path.
