She aims to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles in a direct, approachable way. Jill brings 22 years of experience to conversations about healing and change.

In session she focuses on understanding strong emotions and how they shape choices. She helps people name feelings, notice patterns, and try different ways of responding.

Background and approach

That practical work often touches on grief, addiction recovery, parenting stress, and helping people regain a sense of balance. Jill has spent many years working with adults who face trauma, codependency, shame, and loss. She also supports those coping with bipolar disorder, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Her experience includes individual therapy across a range of life challenges. Her style is warm and straightforward. She prioritizes creating a trusting space so people can talk honestly about what’s hard.

Jill aims to blend emotional work with concrete tools so clients leave with ways to manage symptoms and handle difficult situations.

Online support

Emotion and Skill-Focused Therapy Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with strong feelings that drive their behavior and relationships. It focuses on noticing emotions, naming them, and using that insight to shift how people respond to stress, loss, or conflict.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and understood while they figure out what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and current needs. That process may include trying different strategies and adjusting the focus as progress or new concerns appear.

Online therapy offers practical options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful when visual cues and a face-to-face feel matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text allow brief check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
