She helps people talk through what is happening at home and the pressure that comes with caregiving or parenting. Sessions are conversational and practical. She aims to make it easier to name problems and try small changes that feel doable.
Frances draws on approaches that look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. For people carrying heavy or traumatic memories, she can use trauma-focused methods to reduce intrusive distress.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She will listen, offer observations, and suggest exercises to try between sessions. Work often includes goal-setting, behavioral experiments, and reflecting on personal stories to find new ways forward.
Frances has experience with a broad range of concerns related to family and parenting, including adoption and foster care, pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, and multicultural or discrimination-related stress. She also addresses workplace strain, first responder issues, and mood disorders.
If you are looking for a therapist to help with parenting stress, anxiety, or coping with life changes, Frances provides a practical, step-by-step approach to help you make manageable changes.
How sessions work
How Frances uses evidence-based approaches online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current behavior and feelings. It helps people understand patterns that show up in parenting and close relationships and offers ways to shift those patterns toward better connection.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and managing stress with concrete exercises and homework.
EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps reduce the intensity of distressing memories. It can be useful for people who continue to have intrusive memories or strong emotional reactions after traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frances will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She will explain options, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a format that reduces video time. Licensed professionals use these practical options to help therapy fit daily routines without promising a specific format.
