About Nia
She emphasizes practical steps that can be used day to day. That might mean learning new ways to respond to cravings, practicing skills to manage intense emotions, or testing different habits to reduce anxiety and depression. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with real-life strategies rather than abstract theory.
Her work covers concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family tensions, and ADHD. Additional focus areas include abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication issues, and eating or substance-related problems.
Over three decades in the field have given her experience with a wide range of challenges. She combines several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs in the moment. The aim is to help people build routines and thought patterns that support long-term change.
Clients can expect straightforward support and guidance toward clearer priorities and healthier habits. Nia helps people set achievable steps and stay accountable as they try new ways of thinking and acting.

Approaches that guide online work and habit change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and for breaking patterns that get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and build better routines. CBT often includes practical exercises to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, centers on understanding emotional needs and how they shape close relationships, which can help with intimacy-related issues and relationship tension.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Then she will tailor strategies from these methods so they make sense for the client’s life and concerns.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that fits the day. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice new habits in the settings where they live and work, which can speed up progress when paired with clear exercises and follow-up.
