About Beverly
Her work is informed by trauma-focused thinking and a recovery-oriented perspective. She pays attention to how past hurts and current pressures shape day-to-day choices. Sessions focus on understanding what brought a person in and then planning small steps toward relief and clearer thinking.
Beverly draws on a mix of approaches such as client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused work. That blend helps when people need help with mood concerns like depression or bipolar challenges, substance use, or coping with life changes. She also addresses issues like ADHD, grief around adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and body image concerns.
With 27 years of experience, Beverly aims to help people reconnect with their abilities and rebuild routines that feel manageable. She often works with parents, people dealing with compassion fatigue, and those processing relationship or family problems. Her goal is practical progress you can notice in daily life.
To begin, Beverly asks about what healing would look like and where support is most needed. Early sessions focus on prioritizing goals and creating a plan that fits the client’s pace and life.

Approaches that guide remote work and goal setting
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration; the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps people clarify what they most want to change. This approach is useful for building trust and for clients who need a steady, respectful space to talk about life stressors.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger management.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation. It is commonly used when someone is working through addiction, readiness for change, or lifestyle shifts.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing one way of working. That collaborative process helps set realistic steps and short-term objectives.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It also allows more flexible check-ins and can be chosen for reasons like needing a shorter phone-style check-in, avoiding video on some days, or fitting a session into a lunch break.
